Career

Kjerrumgaard began his career at Dalum IF before joining OB as an under-13 player. [2] He progressed through the youth ranks, establishing himself as a prominent goal scorer over the years. [3] In September 2021, Kjerrumgaard was called up for his first professional game with OB, a Danish Cup match against Roskilde. [4] However, he remained on the bench for the entire game. [5] On 29 October 2021, OB confirmed that 18-year-old Kjerrumgaard had signed his first professional contract and would be permanently promoted to the first-team squad starting in the 2022–23 season. [6]

Shortly after becoming a regular part of the first-team squad, Kjerrumgaard made his official debut for OB. He came off the bench to replace Ayo Simon Okosun in the final minutes of the season opener against Nordsjælland on 18 July 2022. [7] Kjerrumgaard also played in the following three matches.

However, on 31 August 2022, it was confirmed that Kjerrumgaard had been loaned to Danish 1st Division side Nykøbing FC for the remainder of the season. [8] After a successful season at Nykøbing, where he scored 13 goals in 25 games, Kjerrumgaard returned to OB ahead of the 2023–24 season. [9]

At the start of the 2023–24 season, Kjerrumgaard made two appearances for OB. However, on 1 September 2023, it was confirmed that he would spend the rest of the year on loan with Norwegian side Stabæk. [10] He made 11 appearances for the club without scoring, before returning to OB. [1]

On 9 February 2024, Kjerrumgaard extended his contract with OB until 2027. [11] He scored his first competitive goal for the club on 6 May after coming on as a late substitute in a 3–2 league loss to Vejle. [12] He then scored three goals in the following three consecutive games but was unable to prevent OB's relegation to the Danish 1st Division. [13] [14]

Kjerrumgaard became a regular starter in OB's attack at the beginning of the 2024–25 season, and scored five goals in the first four games. [15] [16]

International career

On 9 September 2024, Kjerrumgaard was called up to the Denmark under-20 national team. [17] He made his debut the next day, scoring twice in a friendly match against Sweden U20. [18]

Style of play

Kjerrumgaard is a prolific goal-scorer known for his clinical finishing both with his feet and head. [3] As a forward, he excels in the penalty area, utilising his height and aerial ability to score from crosses and set-pieces. His playing style is characterised by a strong presence in the box and a knack for converting chances. [8] In the later years at OB's academy, he improved his play with his back to goal, becoming more adept in combination play while continuing to refine his duel skills. [3]
