Mikkel Mena Qvist (born 22 April 1993) is a Danish-Colombian footballer, who plays as a centre-back.
Qvist started his career at IF Lyseng, before joining ASA Fodbold. As a U10-player, he joined AGF, where he played until he was 19 years old. He started playing as a left winger, until he was U13-player. After his team needed a left back, he began playing the role as left back.[2]
Qvist joined IF Lyseng after playing U19 football at AGF. He played for their team in the 4th tier of football in Denmark.
On 6 December 2016 it was confirmed, that AC Horsens had signed Qvist surprisingly enough from a much lower rated Danish team, after successful one week trial.[2] Qvist got spotted after a match between his former club, Lyseng IF, and his new club, AC Horsens, in a Danish Cup game.
He got his debut for AC Horsens on 15 March 2017. Qvist started on the bench, but replaced Mikkel Jespersen in the 74th minute in a 3–1 defeat against his former youth club AGF in the Danish Cup. Qvist normally played as a left fullback, but was mostly used as a left midfielder in his first half season.
The midfielder got his official debut for AC Horsens on 7 April 2017.[3] Qvist started on the bench, but came on the pitch in the 81st minute, replacing André Bjerregaard in a 0–2 loss against Randers FC in the Danish Superliga.
Qvist signed a new contract with ACH in May 2017 until the summer 2019.[4] His contract got once again extended on 9 May 2018, this time until the summer 2022.[1]
On 4 February 2020, Qvist was loaned out to Icelandic club KA.[5] On 25 January 2021, Qvist then joined Danish 1st Division club HB Køge on loan for the rest of the season.[6] After returning from Køge, Qvist went on his third loan spell, returning to the Icelandic club KA for the rest of 2021.[7] After returning, Horsens confirmed on 26 January 2022, that they had terminated the contract with Qvist.[8] A day later, on 27 January 2022, he signed with Icelandic club Breiðablik.[9]
