Mikael Uhre

As a youth, Uhre played for Skovlund IF before moving to Grindsted GIF at age 12. At one point, he had a youth trial with Midtjylland, where he did not manage to impress.[2] After spending a year at efterskole between primary and secondary education at Sportsefterskolen SINE in Løgumkloster, one of his teachers encouraged him to participate in tryouts with Danish Superliga club SønderjyskE,[2] where he subsequently joined their youth academy.[3] On 28 March 2013, Uhre made his debut for SønderjyskE.[4] Uhre started on the bench, but replaced Nicolaj Madsen in the 88th minute in a 5-0 away win over Silkeborg IF. In April 2013, Uhre signed his first professional contract with the club.[5]

On 15 August 2014, Uhre sent on a six-month loan deal to Skive IK.[6] He played on an amateur deal while at Skive, working weekdays at an office.[2] He made 13 league appearances and scored three goals during his loan.[7] After his loan deal expired in January 2015, he played for SønderjyskE for six more months, before officially joining Skive in the summer 2015 on a one-year contract.[8] During his sole season under contract in Skive, Uhre scored 15 goals in 33 appearances, only two goals behind league top goalscorer Kjartan Finnbogason.[9]

Uhre rejoined SønderjyskE on 5 June 2016, signing a three-year contract with the club.[10] On 14 July, Uhre made his Europa League debut as a substitute in a 2–1 win over Norwegian side Strømsgodset, appearing in the last 27 minutes in place of Troels Kløve.[11] On 17 July, he played his first Superliga match after returning to SønderjyskE, a matchup against AGF. Coming as a 59th-minute substitute, SønderjyskE lost the match 2–1.[12]

Uhre made 75 total appearances during his two seasons in SønderjyskE in which he scored 13 goals.[7]

On 18 January 2018, it was announced that a deal had been agreed with SønderjyskE for Uhre to join Brøndby IF on 15 June 2018 on a four-and-a-half year deal.[3][13] The transfer fee was later revealed to be around 3 million DKK.[14] On 16 July, Uhre made his debut for Brøndby in a Superliga match against Randers FC. The match ended in a 2–0 away win for Brøndby.[15]

On 29 July, Uhre came off the bench against Hobro IK substituting Ante Erceg in the 68th minute. Subsequently, he secured a 2–1 away win for Brøndby, scoring the winning goal deep in injury time.[16] He finished the 2018–19 season with 6 goals in 28 league matches. During large parts of the 2018–19 season, Uhre was mostly used as a substitute for regular strikers Kamil Wilczek and Simon Hedlund.

On 21 June 2020, he scored the decisive 1–1 equaliser off a bad return ball to seal a draw against FC Copenhagen in the 89th minute.[17][18] This marked his first goal in 11 months, and came after him coming on as a substitute for Sigurd Rosted in the 84th minute.[19] He would then feature as a starter in Brøndby's following matches, after Hedlund and Mráz had been tested positive for COVID-19.[7] On 9 July, Uhre provided an assist and netted a hat-trick in the club's 4–0 victory over FC Nordsjælland.[20][21] Thereafter, he became an established starter for Brøndby.

In the second match-day of the 2020–21 season, on 20 September 2020, Uhre scored the winner deep into stoppage time in a derby against Copenhagen as Brøndby won 2–1.[22] He had also earlier provided an assist to Jesper Lindstrøm who had netted the equaliser after former Brøndby player Kamil Wilczek had scored the opener for Copenhagen.[22][23] His strong form continued throughout the fall, and he topped the list of players in the Superliga with most goals and assists combined in late November.[24] He was voted Player of the Month in December 2020 by Brøndby's fans, having scored three goals in four appearances during the month.[25]
