Club career

Early years

Born in Copenhagen, Troest started playing football for several local clubs. He debuted for the Danish under-16 national team in October 2002, while playing for club B.93. In the summer 2003, the 16-year-old Troest moved abroad to play for English club Aston Villa. The club reportedly wanted to sign his big brother Jonas Troest from B.93 as well. Troest signed a three-year contract.[1] He played two years in the youth academy, but did not get his senior debut for Aston Villa.

Midtjylland

In May 2005 he transferred back home to Denmark, to play for FC Midtjylland (FCM) in the top-flight Danish Superliga championship.[2] He initially had to struggle to make the FCM first team, but finally made his senior debut in October 2005.[3] He won the 2005 Danish under-19 Player of the Year award. From the second half of the 2005–06 season, he became a regular in the starting line-up. He scored his first two goals for FCM, as the club beat Aarhus GF 2–1 in March 2006.

Parma and Genoa

He then moved to Parma in 2008 (Parma re-sold half of the contract to Genoa C.F.C. for €1.5 million) and he again performed well, playing nearly 30 games and helping the club into Serie A.

Genoa bought back Troest in June 2009, for €900,000.[4] Troest was one-year loaned to Recreativo de Huelva on 30 August 2009.[5]

He spent the 2010–11 on loan at Atalanta.[6] He played 25 times, and also scored once, the opener of a 2–2 home draw against Cittadella in the penultimate matchday.[7] Atalanta won the championship for the sixth time in history after collecting 79 points, two more than Siena, the runner-up.[8] This title was Troest first senior trophy.[9]

Novara

On 3 August 2015, Troest joined Novara in Serie B.[10] He left at the end of 2017–18 season, which saw the club relegated to third tier, after refusing to pen a new deal.[11]

Juve Stabia

Troest remained in Italian second tier by completing a transfer to Juve Stabia, signing a two-year contract with an option to renew.[12] He took squad number 20, and made his official debut for the club on 16 September 2018 by playing full-90 minutes in a 3–0 success at Siracusa.[13]

International career

Troest has amassed 31 appearances with Denmark youth teams.

Personal life

Troest is the younger brother of AB player Jonas Troest.[14] His sister, Stina Troest, is a hurdler who has competed 400 meter hurdles at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore 2010 and won silver.[15]
