Anton Søjberg (born 21 December 2000) is a Danish professional footballer who currently plays in the USL Championship for Monterey Bay FC as a centre-forward.[1] He has previously played for HK Kópavogur in Úrvalsdeildin, the Icelandic top division, and for Vendsyssel FF in the Danish first division.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Anton Søjberg spent his youth career in VSK Aarhus. As 16 years old he moved to the top-tier club AGF Aarhus, but was not able to gain a professional contract. He then decided to move to the suburban club Brabrand IF in Aarhus, where his father was coach.[3] Anton Søjberg soon managed to establish himself as a senior player in Brabrand IF.[4][5] He enjoyed great success, and soon attracted interess from bigger clubs in the area.[6]

In 2021 he left Brabrand IF for professional football. After a short intermezzo as parttimer in Skive IK he gained a full time contract in Vendsyssel FF.[7] Anton Søjberg played in Vendsyssel FF for two years, and was then offered a new contract. He turned the offer down, and moved to Iceland to play for HK Kópavogur.[8] After a few months in Iceland it became clear to him, that the club could not match his ambitions, and he decided to use a clause in his contract to have it terminated.[9]

A short time before the transfer deadline Anton Søjberg moved to B36 Tórshavn,[10] who is a regular participant in European club competitions.[11] He had a convincing debut by scoring both goals in the match against KÍ Klaksvik,[12] who have been champions for the last two seasons, and also participated in the 2023 group stage in UEFA Europa Conference League.

On 30 December 2024, Monterey Bay FC in the American USL Championship announced they had signed Søjberg to a one-year contract.[13]
