Jakob Kiilerich Rask (born 10 May 2000) is a Danish footballer who plays as a centre-back for Belgian Pro League club Zulte Waregem. [1]
He was born in Horsens. [2] Playing for the academy of AC Horsens, he was lauded as the best player for the U17 team in the first half of the 2016–17 season. [3]
Kiilerich started his senior career in Kolding IF, making his debut in the Danish 1st Division in 2019. [2] In March 2024 he was loaned by Swedish Allsvenskan team Mjällby AIF. [4] In his Allsvenskan debut on 21 April, he also scored a goal, though Mjällby lost 2–1. [5] On 29 April, he scored his second goal, this time a decisive goal in a 3–2 victory over Kalmar. However, Kiilerich was accused of handballing as the goal went in, which would be illegal. Kiilerich claimed that the ball hit his shoulder, which is legal. [6] No video gave a clear answer. [7]
On 30 September 2024, it was announced that Kiilerich would join Mjällby permanently in 2025. [2]
On 3 August 2025, Kiilerich signed for Belgian Pro League club Zulte Waregem from Mjällby with immediate effect.
