Anton Søjberg (born 21 December 2000) is a Danish professional footballer who currently plays in the Faroe Islands Premier League for B36 Tórshavn as a centre-forward.[1] He has previously played for HK Kópavogur in Úrvalsdeildin, the Icelandic top division, and for Vendsyssel FF in the Danish first division.[2]
Club career
[edit]Anton Søjberg spent his youth career in VSK Aarhus. As 16 years old he moved to the top-tier club AGF Aarhus, but was not able to gain a professional contract. He then decided to move to the suburban club Brabrand IF in Aarhus, where his father was coach.[3] Anton Søjberg soon managed to establish himself as a senior player in Brabrand IF.[4][5] He enjoyed great success, and soon attracted interess from bigger clubs in the area.[6]
In 2021 he left Brabrand IF for professional football. After a short intermezzo as parttimer in Skive IK he gained a full time contract in Vendsyssel FF.[7] Anton Søjberg played in Vendsyssel FF for two years, and was then offered a new contract. He turned the offer down, and moved to Iceland to play for HK Kópavogur.[8] After a few months in Iceland it became clear to him, that the club could not match his ambitions, and he decided to use a clause in his contract to have it terminated.[9]
A short time before the transfer deadline Anton Søjberg moved to B36 Tórshavn,[10] who is a regular participant in European club competitions.[11] He had a convincing debut by scoring both goals in the match against KÍ Klaksvik,[12] who have been champions for the last two seasons, and also participated in the 2023 group stage in UEFA Europa Conference League.
