Oscar Wendt

Oscar Joakim Wendt (born 24 October 1985) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a left back for Allsvenskan club IFK Goteborg.

Club Career

IFK Goteborg

After playing for IFK Skovde, he joined IFK Goteborg in 2003. He became an important first team player, earning 14 appearances on the Swedish U21 team and a call-up for the Swedish national team.

In his time at the club he played 91 matches, before moving to the Danish champions Copenhagen on a four-year contract for 6 million DKK. After his departure to Copenhagen, a huge gap arose in the defence, later filled by Argentine defender Jose Shaffer coming from Racing Club.

Copenhagen

In his first two years at Copenhagen, he struggled to become a first team regular, first being a back-up for former Norwegian international Andre Bergdolmo and later Danish international Niclas Jensen. However, in 2008, he managed to become a first choice on the left back position for his team, earning him a call-up to the Swedish national team, his first in over 18 months.
