Lasse Fosgaard (Danish pronunciation: [ˈfʌsˌkɒˀ]; born 6 September 1986) is a retired Danish professional footballer.[1]

Career

[edit]

Avarta and Brønshøj

[edit]

Fosgaard came through the ranks of Avarta before being promoted to the first team, as the club competed in the Danish third tier.[2] After receiving interest from clubs in the Danish Superliga,[3] he moved to Brønshøj BK on 2 August 2010, a club that had recently been promoted to the Danish second tier.[4] He scored his first goal for his new club on 15 August, in a 3–1 away loss to AGF.[5] In general, Fosgaard had a strong start at Brønshøj, with the club in 4th place of the second tier before the winter break.[6] After another strong display during the spring, the club ended in 5th place. Fosgaard scored four goals in his first season for Brønshøj.[1]

The following season, Brønshøj struggled against relegation. Despite this, Fosgaard was one of the bright spots, scoring 7 goals as Brønshøj ended in eighth place, two points clear of relegation.[1][7]

Lyngby

[edit]

On 31 August 2012, Fosgaard signed a three-year contract with Lyngby Boldklub, who had ended in fourth place of the second tier the season before.[8] Upon signing, Lyngby head coach Niels Frederiksen praised Fosgaard as a "hard worker" and a "strong finisher".[8] In Lyngby, Fosgaard grew out to become somewhat of a club legend, making more than 200 appearances and experiencing promotions, relegations, bronze medals and European football.[9]

On 28 May 2022, Lyngby Boldklub announced that Fosgaard's expiring contract would not be extended, making him a free agent after the 2021–22 season.[10] At that point, he had made 290 appearances for the club through 10 years, contributing with 18 goals and 45 assists.[10]

Return to Avarta

[edit]

In June 2022 it was confirmed, that Fosgaard had returned to his former club, Avarta.[11] In May 2024, Fosgaard announced his retirement.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Fosgaard is the younger brother of Anders Fosgaard and Jesper Fosgaard. All three played together at Avarta.[13] They are sons of Bo Fosgaard who had a prolific tenure as a player for KB and Hvidovre IF during the 1980s.[14]
