Norwegian powerhouse Bodø/Glimt, fresh off a strong Europa League campaign, have made a significant move to strengthen their frontline, signing 24-year-old Danish forward Mathias Jørgensen from AaB. The highly regarded striker penned a four-year contract with the club, marking a key addition ahead of the new season.
Jørgensen Eager to Make His Mark in Bodø
The former AaB captain is excited about the next chapter of his career. Speaking in his first interview with Glimt’s official website, Jørgensen expressed his enthusiasm:
“It’s a fantastic feeling. I’ve been looking forward to this, and when I got the call, I was overjoyed. I’m ready to get started right away.”
He praised Bodø/Glimt’s rise in European football, noting the club’s ambition and well-structured approach as key factors in his decision.
“Glimt is a top club that’s achieved so much recently. It’s clearly a well-run organization in every way.”
A Versatile Threat Up Front
Jørgensen brings a dynamic skill set to Bodø/Glimt’s attacking options. Known for his physicality and tactical awareness, he views himself primarily as a winger but is comfortable operating across the front line.
“I’m a flexible attacking player,” he said. “I can play across the frontline, but I mainly see myself on the wing. I like to use my strength and make deep runs behind the defense.”
Stellar Season at AaB
The Danish forward arrived at AaB from Esbjerg fB in February 2024 and made an immediate impact. Over 52 matches, he netted 27 goals and contributed nine assists—statistics that reflect both his scoring prowess and playmaking ability.
AaB CEO Michael Tuxen Boll acknowledged Jørgensen’s influence both on and off the pitch:
“Mathias has been a standout for us from day one. His numbers speak for themselves, and he’s led the team with dedication as captain.”
Boll confirmed that the transfer came after respectful negotiations between the clubs and expressed hope that this move would allow Jørgensen to realize his dream of competing at the highest European level.
“His performances have naturally drawn attention, and we’re pleased to have reached a deal that benefits everyone—especially Mathias, who’s always dreamed of playing in the Champions League.”
Bodø/Glimt Signal Intent Ahead of New Campaign
With European ambitions growing stronger, Bodø/Glimt’s capture of Jørgensen sends a clear message: the club is building for the future with talent that can deliver results both domestically and in continental competitions. Jørgensen’s arrival could prove pivotal as the club aims to go deeper in the Europa League and push for Champions League qualification.
