Malte Kiilerich Hansen (born 16 October 1995) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Danish Superliga club Hvidovre. [3]

Career

Kiilerich was born in Copenhagen and grew up on Amager, where he started playing football for B1908. [4] In 2012, he joined Midtjylland's academy, before moving to second tier club Brønshøj on loan in February 2015. The loan then became a permanent deal in July 2015, after the club suffered relegation to the third tier at the end of the season. [5] [6]

On 12 July 2016, Kiilerich signed with Hvidovre. [7] [8] In June 2017, his contract was extended, followed by another extension in November 2017. The latter deal secured his position with the club until 2019, a testament to his development into a dependable starter at the centre-back position. [9] [10]

In January 2019, it was announced that Kiilerich would be joining Danish Superliga club AC Horsens from the 2019–20 season onward. He inked a three-year contract with Den Gule Fare. [11] During his tenure, he established a robust defensive partnership alongside Alexander Ludwig, anchoring the center of defense. Their combined efforts resulted in both players amassing more than 100 appearances each for the club. [12] The 2022–23 season proved challenging for Kiilerich and Horsens. The team struggled to maintain a clean sheet from October 2022 to June 2023, conceding a league-high 58 goals. Ultimately, their relegation occurred due to goal difference, narrowly missing out to Lyngby. [13] [14]

On 1 September 2023, Kiilerich made his return to Hvidovre, who had secured promotion to the Superliga in the interim. [15]
