Mikkel Vestergaard (born 22 November 1992) is a retired Danish football forward.
Having played for Esbjerg since the age of 3, at the age of 16 he signed a youth contract with Esbjerg.[1] By the age of 18 he signed his first professional contract with the club, keeping him at Esbjerg until 31 December 2014.[2]
On 15 May 2011 he got his first team debut in a scoreless draw against AaB at Blue Water Arena, becoming the 6th youngest EfB debutant ever.[3]
On 20 January 2016, Vestergaard signed a pre-contract with Viborg FF, applicable from the summer 2016.[4]
Esbjerg and Viborg, however, negotiated a transition already on 25 January 2016, and the clubs reached an agreement so he could transfer with immediate effect instead of in the summer.[5] He left Viborg at the end of the 2018/19 season.[6]
On 30 August 2019, 26-year old Vestergaard announced that he would retire due to injuries.[7]
He has represented the Denmark U-18 team on 2 occasions.
In 2011, he was called up for the Denmark U-21 team, but didn't get any minutes on the pitch.[8]
