Mikael Uhre

Mikael Uhre (Danish: [ˈmiˌkʰɛˀl ˈuɐ]; born 30 September 1994) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Danish Superliga club Brondby IF.

A youth product of SonderjyskE, Uhre enjoyed his breakthrough in the second tier for Skive during the 2015–16 season, prompting a return to SonderjyskE. There, he became noted for his physical strength, speed and ability in the air, and Brondby signed him in 2018. After a few years as a reserve, Uhre grew into a starter and became top goalscorer of the league and Danish Superliga Player of the Season as Brondby won the 2020–21 Danish Superliga.

Club Career

SonderjyskE

As a youth, Uhre played for Skovlund IF before moving to Grindsted GIF at age 12. At one point, he had a youth trial with Midtjylland, where he did not manage to impress. After spending a year at efterskole between primary and secondary education at Sportsefterskolen SINE in Logumkloster, one of his teachers encouraged him to participate in tryouts with Danish Superliga club SonderjyskE, where he subsequently joined their youth academy. On 28 March 2013, Uhre made his debut for SonderjyskE. Uhre started on the bench, but replaced Nicolaj Madsen in the 88th minute in a 5-0 away win over Silkeborg IF. In April 2013, Uhre signed his first professional contract with the club.

Skive IK

On 15 August 2014, Uhre was sent on a six-month loan deal to Skive IK. He played on an amateur deal while at Skive, working weekdays at an office. He made 13 league appearances and scored three goals during his loan. After his loan deal expired in January 2015, he played for SonderjyskE for six more months, before officially joining Skive in the summer 2015 on a one-year contract. During his sole season under contract in Skive, Uhre scored 15 goals in 33 appearances, only two goals behind league top goalscorer Kjartan Finnbogason.
