Sigurd Rosted

Sigurd Rosted (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈruːstɛ]; born 22 July 1994) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Danish Superliga club Brondby and the Norway national team.

Described as a calm and intelligent centre back with leading abilities, Rosted began his career in his native Norway and made the move to Belgian Gent in January 2018 before making the move to Brondby one-and-a-half year later.

Club Career

Early career

Born in Oslo, Rosted played youth football Hasle-Loren and Kjelsas, before joining Sarpsborg 08 ahead of the 2015 season. Prior to signing, he had been diagnosed with Bekhterev's disease, a type of arthritis mainly affecting his back, but medication allowed him to play professionally. Rosted made his professional debut in September 2015 against Odds BK.

Gent

On 7 January 2018, Rosted signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Belgian First Division A side Gent. On 24 January, he made his Gent debut against Royal Antwerp in the First Division A as a substitute in a 1–1 draw away, playing the last 45 minutes in place of Nana Asare. He finished the 2017–18 season with 8 appearances for the club.

The following season Rosted established himself as a starter in the Gent first team, playing 38 matches and scoring 6 goals in all competitions. However, towards the end of the season he saw less playing time, as Timothy Derijck was preferred in the centre of defense.

Brondby

2019–20 season

On 27 August 2019, Rosted moved to Denmark to join Superliga club Brondby on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be around €300,000. He made his competitive debut for the club on 1 September, playing 90 minutes as Brondby lost 1–0 away to FC Midtjylland in the Superliga. Rosted soon found himself as a regular starter in the first team, establishing a partnership in central defense with fellow summer signing, Andreas Max
