Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Nartey was born in Bagsværd, Gladsaxe Municipality, a suburb to Copenhagen, and was raised in Værebroparken [da], a public housing project.[2] He began playing football at a young age, often alongside his friends and his older brother, fellow professional player Nikolas Nartey. At six years old, he joined Værebro Boldklub, where his journey into organised football began.[2][3] Later, at the age of 12, he entered FC Copenhagen's academy, progressing through the various youth teams.[2][4] Notably, he made a mark for the under-17 team, contributing a goal in the cup final (alongside Roony Bardghji), although they were defeated by Nordsjælland's U17s after penalties in 2021.[5] Additionally, he played a pivotal role in securing the under-17 league title.[6]

Brøndby

[edit]

In August 2021, Nartey signed with Copenhagen's main rivals Brøndby, joining their academy at under-17 level.[7] In November 2022, he signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him at the club until 2025.[8]

Prior to the 2023–24 season, Nartey joined Brøndby's first team in pre-season training camp alongside Ludwig Vraa-Jensen and Clement Bischoff.[9] During the winter break, he impressed during training camp in Portugal, and was praised by his teammates. At that point, he was already a key player for Brøndby's under-19 team.[10] On 25 February 2024, he made his professional debut in the Danish Superliga, replacing Daniel Wass in the 85th minute of a 3–0 away win over OB.[11] The following month, on 17 March, he made his first start, helping his team to a 4–1 home victory against Silkeborg.[12]

Style of play

[edit]

Nartey characterises himself as a dynamic, fast-paced player with a knack for dribbling past opponents.[2] He possesses a strong drive when in possession of the ball and has drawn comparisons to Paul Pogba in terms of his passing and dribbling prowess.[2]

Personal life

[edit]

Nartey is of Ghanaian descent through his father and his mother is Danish.[13][14] He is younger brother of Nikolas Nartey, the professional footballer who currently plays for VfB Stuttgart.[2]
