Biography

Agger is the younger cousin of Danish international defender Daniel Agger, which has coined his nickname "Fætter Agger" meaning "Cousin Agger".

Club career

Brøndby IF

Agger started playing youth football with Brøndby IF, and was included in various Danish national youth teams, making his debut for the Denmark under-17 team in August 2004. Playing in the Brøndby reserve team, he got a fantastic senior début for Brøndby IF in August 2006. He replaced Morten Rasmussen in the beginning of the second half and scored two goals in the 4–0 victory over FC Flora Tallinn in the second qualification round of the UEFA Cup. He made his Danish Superliga debut in the October 2006 game against Aalborg BK.

In the summer 2007, Agger was officially moved up to the first team squad.[2] He played 9 league matches for BIF in his first two seasons. While Agger was loaned out to SønderjyskE, BIF extended his contract until December 2013.[3] After his return from his latest loan spell at SønderjyskE, Agger became a regular part of the BIF squad and played 26 league games in the 2012/13 season. But during the season, he got less and less playing time and it was expected, that he would leave the club to get some more minutes on the pitch elsewhere.

On 20 May 2011 he scored two goals against Lyngby BK in a Danish Superliga game. After his loan spell at Djurgårdens IF Agger said, that he didn't wanted to get loaned out again. Either he would play for Brøndby, otherwise he would be leaving the club.[4] He was tired of sitting on the bench, and wanted to leave the club.

Loan to SønderjyskE

On 2 September 2009 it was announced, that SønderjyskE had signed on a 4-month loan deal.[5] In November 2009, Agger broke his ankle in a match against HB Køge and was out for about a half year.[6]

Loan to Djurgårdens IF

On 31 August 2011, Agger joined Swedish club Djurgårdens IF on loan to the end of the season with a buying obligation.[7] Agger scored in his debut against Trelleborg, who Agger and co. won 4-3. Djurgårdens did not exploit the buying obligation and he returned to Brøndby after 7 league games for Djurgårdens.

Vejle Kolding & Vejle Boldklub

On 6 August 2012 Agger moved to Vejle-Kolding on a 3-year deal.[8] In his second season at the club, he was mostly used on the left wing position.

Silkeborg IF

On the 29th of June 2014 Vejle Boldklub announced that Agger had been sold to newly promoted Silkeborg IF a year before the end of his contract.[9] Vejle later revealed, that they had to sell him to buy other players.[10]

In October 2016, Agger suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his left knee, which would rule him out for six months.[11] Agger announced in May 2017, that he would leave the club after three seasons, when his contract expired in the summer.[12] He also announced, that he probably would stay in Denmark.

Hvidovre IF

On 25 July 2017, Agger signed for Danish 2nd Division club Hvidovre IF.[13]

International career

Agger has played 30 matches for various Danish national youth teams and scored 10 goals.[1]
