Club career

Early career

Dyring was born in Vridsted, Viborg Municipality, and began his career at local club Vridsted IF before moving to the Viborg FF youth academy.[1] He made his professional debut in the Danish Superliga in 2001, when he came on as a substitute and played the final 10 minuted of a 3–1 home win over HFK Sønderjylland. His last match in the Superliga was on 6 November 2005 – he made a total of 26 appearances in the Superliga.[2][3]

On 1 January 2007, Dyring moved to second-tier Danish 1st Division club Skive IK, after having been loaned out to AC Horsens and Thisted FC.[4] In Skive, he became team captain, among other things.[5] After five years as a key player for Skive, Dyring had his contract with the club terminated at the end of August 2011. This happened after being sidelined with a serious injury and subsequently struggling to make the first team.[1]

Following the termination of the contract with Skive IK, Dyring signed with fellow 1st Division club Hobro IK on 1 September 2011.[6]

On 10 June 2013, Dyring returned to Skive IK, where he signed a two-year contract.[7] Skive had recently been relegated to the third-tier 2nd Division West, which resulted in Skive finding a new head coach, Jakob Michelsen.[8] In Dyring's first match after returning to Skive IK, however, he was injured and was out for a month.

On 30 August 2018, Dyring announced his retirement from football after suffering from a recurring achilles tendon injury.[9] After his player career, he has worked as a youth coach at FC Midtjylland and as a sales manager in a sporting goods retail company.[3]

Personal life

After his retirement, Dyring has talked about depression, loneliness and mental problems related to injuries in football and been a proponent of mental coaches and openness related to psychological problems in the sport.[3][1]
