Carl Björk (born 19 January 2000) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward for IFK Norrköping, on loan from Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF.[1]
Björk started his career at IFK Holmsund/Sandviks IK.[2] After spells at Umeå IK and IFK Umeå, he joined Umeå FC at the age of 13 in 2013.[3] Björk made his debut for Umeå FC's first team in the Swedish Division 1 on 10 July 2016 in a 1–1 draw against Nyköpings BIS, where he came on the pitch in the 85th minute.[4]
At the age of 16, he moved from his parents' home in Umeå to Norrköping, where he joined IFK Norrköping in July 2016. He spent the 2017 to 2019 seasons on loan at IF Sylvia. Ahead of the 2019 season, Björk was promoted to IFK Norrköping's first team.[5] Björk made his Allsvenskan debut on 14 June 2020 in a 2–1 win over Kalmar FF.[6]
In August 2020, Björk was loaned out to Trelleborgs FF on a deal for the remainder of the 2020 season.[7] After returning to IFK Norrköping for 2021, he established himself as a key player for the team, scoring eight goals in 27 appearances throughout the season.
On 30 January 2022 it was confirmed that Björk had joined Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF on a deal until June 2026.[8] He made his competitive debut for the club on 20 February, featuring in the starting line-up of a 2–0 league victory against Nordsjælland.[9] He strained his hamstring during the spring, sidelining him for several months.[10]
On 18 August 2023, Björk returned to IFK Norrköping on a one-year loan deal.[11] On 1 July 2024, the clubs agreed to extend the loan agreement, so that it now expires on 31 December 2024.[12] [13]
