| Position | Forward |
Strong-running and powerful forward who has played nearly 60 matches in England since arriving from Odense. This popular Dane was again a great favourite of the Darlington fans last season. Although he seldom featured for the whole game and was often used from the subs bench he impressed with his strong running, close control and powerful shooting. He netted just one goal during the campaign, scoring from just inside the box in the 2-1 defeat at Blackpool last November.
