Club career

AaB

Dalsgaard began his career as a forward with Danish lower-league clubs BMK 90, FK Viborg, Hersom/Bjerregrav IF and Møldrup/Tostrup IF,[2] before joining Danish Superliga club AaB on a free transfer in December 2008,[3] with compensation being paid to his previous clubs.[4] He made the first professional appearances of his career late in the 2008–09 season and scored his first professional goal in a 2–2 draw with FC Nordsjælland on 31 May 2009.[5] Dalsgaard became a regular in the team over the following two seasons and was moved from his forward position onto the wing and then to right back by the 2011–12 season.[5][6] He made 21 appearances and scored two goals during the 2013–14 season, in which AaB won the Danish Superliga and Danish Cup double.[5] Dalsgaard remained with the club until December 2015, when he departed on a free transfer.[7] He made 185 appearances and scored 10 goals during eight seasons at the Nordjyske Arena.[5]

Zulte Waregem

In December 2015, Dalsgaard moved to Belgium to join Pro League club Zulte Waregem on a two-and-a-half year contract, with an option for a further year.[7] In an 18-month spell affected by a hip injury,[8] he made 38 appearances, scored 9 goals and helped the club to win the 2016–17 Belgian Cup.[5] Dalsgaard left the club on 23 May 2017.[8]

Brentford

On 23 May 2017, Dalsgaard moved to England to join Championship club Brentford on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee, effective 1 July 2017.[8] He immediately displaced previous first-choice right back Maxime Colin and made the position his own after Colin's departure at the end of the summer transfer window.[9][10] Dalsgaard continued as a regular in the team,[11] despite suffering with a concussion and a heel injury during the opening months of the season.[12][13] A heel injury suffered during a 2–0 victory over Birmingham City on 1 November 2017 saw Dalsgaard miss three months of the season.[11][14] He regained his place in early February 2018 and his scored his first goal for the club with the only goal for the game versus Nottingham Forest on 10 April.[11] Dalsgaard finished the 2017–18 season with 32 appearances and one goal.[11]

International career

Dalsgaard represented Denmark at youth level, winning 12 caps for the U20 and U21 teams.[15] He made one appearance for the Denmark League XI in 2013.[16] Dalsgaard's form for Zulte Waregem during the 2015–16 season saw him win four caps for the senior team during the second half of the campaign.[17] In recognition of his contribution to Denmark's qualification for the 2018 World Cup, Dalsgaard was named in the 2017 Denmark Team of the Year.[18]

In May 2018 he was named in Denmark’s preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.[19]
