Lyngby Boldklub striker joins Hillerød on loan

Lyngby Boldklub has announced that 19-year-old Icelandic striker Jakob Sigurdsson will join Hillerød Fodbold Elite on a season-long loan deal for the upcoming 1. Division campaign. The move reflects Lyngby’s confidence in the young forward, who just wrapped up an impressive season with the club’s U19 side.

What happened?

Jakob Sigurdsson, who previously played youth football in Iceland, scored 16 goals in 20 matches for Lyngby’s U19 team during the 2025-26 season. That tally made him one of the league’s top young scorers. With 24 appearances in Danish senior football already under his belt, he is expected to quickly adapt to the competitive 1. Division environment in Hillerød.

Why it matters for Lyngby Boldklub

For Lyngby, the deal is about giving Sigurdsson a chance to grow in a tough league. Sports director Nicas Kjeldsen stressed the club’s strong belief in the player’s future. A season in Hillerød could further mature him and pave the way for a bigger role at Lyngby Boldklub down the line, Kjeldsen said.

What’s next?

In Hillerød, head coach Christian Lønstrup is eager to integrate Sigurdsson into the squad. He calls the Icelandic striker an exciting number nine with solid technical skills and a natural eye for goal, fitting perfectly into the team’s offensive plans. Lønstrup also praised Sigurdsson’s ball-playing ability and presence inside the box.

Sigurdsson now has the chance to prove himself in a competitive league where development and experience are key. Both Lyngby and Hillerød hope the deal will prove beneficial for both clubs in the long run.
