Morten Toft Olsen (born 11 October 1984) is a Danish handballer for Bjerringbro-Silkeborg.[1]
He has previously played for Danish side clubs GOG and Viborg HK. He was released early from his contract with Saint-Raphaël Var Handball to rejoin TSV Hannover-Burgdorf whom he played for in the period 2010 to 2013. He has rejoined TSV Hannover-Burgdorf 1 July 2015 after a short term contract with Al Rayyan SC.[2] [3] [4] Since 2020 he is back in Denmark.
He debuted for the Danish national team in 2006, but it would take almost a decade before he became a part of the national team setup on a permanent basis, and even then he often acted as backup.[5]
In 2021 he announced his retirement from the national team in order to spend more time with his family.[6]
