Morten Blom Due Hjulmand (born 25 June 1999) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Primeira Liga club Sporting CP and the Denmark national team.
On 13 May 2018, Copenhagen announced that they had sold Hjulmand to Admira Wacker from their U-19 squad.[1] Hjulmand had never played any official games for Copenhagen's first team, but had been on training camps with them. He signed a contract until June 2022.
Hjulmand played his first game for Admira on 20 July 2018 against SC Neusiedl am See 1919 in the Austrian Cup.[2] The midfielder played in all league games in the first half year at the club except for one game.
On 16 January 2021, Hjulmand signed a four-year contract with Italian club Lecce, in the second-tier Serie B at the time.[3]
On 13 August 2023, Hjulmand signed a five-year contract with Primeira Liga club Sporting CP for a fee of €18 million,[4] which could rise to €21 million with add-ons.[5] His release clause was set at €80 million.[6]
Five days later, Hjulmand made his debut for Sporting, coming off the bench to replace Marcus Edwards on the 75th minute of a 2–1 league victory away at Casa Pia.[7] He made his first start for the Lions on 27 August, in a 1–0 home win over Famalicão, being replaced by Daniel Bragança on the 84th minute.[8] On 17 September 2023, Hjulmand scored his first goal for Sporting, the opener in a 3–0 league victory over Moreirense at Estádio José Alvalade.[9]
Hjulmand was called up to the senior Denmark squad for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches on 16 and 19 June 2023 against Northern Ireland and Slovenia, respectively.[10] On 7 September 2023, Hjulmand made his debut for the senior team, coming off the bench in a 4–0 win over San Marino.[11]
On 20 June 2024, he scored his first international goal; an equaliser against England at Euro 2024.[12]
Morten Hjulmand is not related to Denmark national team manager Kasper Hjulmand.[13] [14] [15]
