Edgaras Utkus (born 22 June 2000) is a Lithuanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Cercle Brugge and the Lithuania national team.
In 2019, Utkus signed his first professional contract with Monaco. In France he played from summer of the 2019.[1] [2] [3] He appeared for the reserves, competing in Championnat National 2.
In the summer of 2021, Utkus moved to Belgian First Division A club Cercle Brugge.[4] He made his debut on 24 July 2021 in a match against Beerschot which was interrupted after 55 minutes due to heavy rainfall.[5] The match was continued on 27 July, and ended in a 1–0 win for Cercle. Despite being a midfielder, Utkus lined up in the right side of central defense, where he kept a clean sheet.[6]
On 4 August 2022, Cercle Brugge announced that Utkus had suffered a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament and a tear in the meniscus of his knee, which required surgery.[7] The injury effectively ended his season.[8] [9] Despite the severity of his injury, he extended his contract with the club on 23 April 2023, signing a deal until 2026.[10]
Utkus made his international debut for the Lithuania national team on 11 November 2020 in a friendly match against the Faroe Islands.[11]
