Jesper Håkansson (born August 14, 1981 in Albertslund ) is a former Danish football player . The attacking former international junior player has been under contract with professional clubs in Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and Australia over the course of his career.
Club career
Håkansson made his debut on May 23, 1998 at the age of 17 for his home club BK Frem København in the second-highest Danish division in a 1-1 draw against Hvidovre IF . In the following 1998/99 season he was a regular member of the squad and came to 26 league appearances in the course of the season before he moved to the Dutch club SC Heerenveen in the summer of 1999, including after a trial session at Manchester United . On his debut in the Dutch Eredivisie , he scored a goal in a 3-2 away defeat against Ajax Amsterdam , but was only used sporadically for the professional team under coach Foppe de Haan . In the 2002/03 season he was awarded for some time to the Danish first division club Viborg FF , after his return he had his best season record for Heerenveen in the 2003/04 season with 23 league appearances. The following season, Gertjan Verbeek, a new coach followed, who awarded Håkansson to league rivals RBC Roosendaal for the 2004/05 season . With six goals this season he was one of the top goalscorers of his team and managed to stay in the relegation round with the team.
In the summer break of 2005, his stay in the Netherlands ended and the offensive player switched to the Swedish first division club Djurgårdens IF , who at that time was fighting for the championship. Håkansson came in the rest of the season to a league use, as in addition to winning the championship also succeeded in the cup. After he came to nine missions in the 2005/06 Royal League break , he was not included in the first half of the 2006 season. His contract, which expired in summer 2006, was not renewed by Djurgårdens IF and Håkansson then returned to the Netherlands, where he joined ADO Den Haag .
After he had only made five appearances in the 2006/07 season, which ended for The Hague with relegation to the Eerste Divisie , he broke his contract shortly after the start of the 2007/08 season and moved to Denmark for first division promoted Lyngby BK . At Lyngby he scored three goals in 23 missions, the club rose at the end of the season from bottom of the table. Håkansson then decided to move abroad again and signed a two-year contract with the reigning Australian champions Newcastle United Jets after a one-week trial training session . The contact came about on the recommendation of the former Danish national player Jesper Olsen , who lives in Melbourne .
Håkansson did not manage to meet the high expectations placed on him in Australia. The season was disappointing for the club and players, with the Dane only appearing in ten league games, including five as a substitute - also due to an injury. The Jets were last in the table at the end of the season, coach Gary van Egmond blamed midfield duo Håkansson and Kaz Patafta for their poor performance . Shortly after the season at the end of January 2009, his contract was terminated by mutual agreement.
In March 2009, he found a new employer in the Danish second division club FC Amager , but the club declared bankruptcy shortly after signing and stopped playing. For the remainder of the season Håkansson then returned to his home club BK Frem København, for whom he scored five goals in seven second division appearances. For the 2009/10 season he moved to league rivals AB Copenhagen , a year later again within the second Danish league for FC Roskilde . With Roskilde he missed relegation in 2012 and was relegated to the 2nd division , in 2015 he ended his career.
National team
Håkansson was one of the most hopeful Danish talents of his year. In 1998 he took part with the Danish selection in the U-16 European Championship and reached the quarter-finals with the team, in which they lost 2-0 to the eventual surprise winner Ireland. Back in 1997, Håkansson was named U-17 Player of the Year by the Danish Football Association . With his debut for the Danish U-21 national team in September 1999, he became the third youngest Danish U-21 player in history, only Thomas Sørensen and Michael Laudrup were younger when they made their U-21 debut. Subsequently, however, missions remained rare. During his time at Lyngby, he briefly returned to the circle of the national team when he was invited to a training camp for the senior national team.
