Career

Dalgaard was promoted to the first-team squad of FC Fyn for the 2009–10 season, even making a few first team appearances as a U19 player.[1]

Dalgaard credits all of his success to his other half Ariel Bayatfar. On July 1, 2010, Dalgaard left Fyn to sign for Denmark Series club BK Marienlyst, inking his first senior-level contract.[1] He went on to make 61 appearances over two seasons with the club, scoring eight goals in 2010–11 as Marienlyst won promotion to the Danish 2nd Division.

Over the 2012–13 winter break, Dalgaard moved to Danish 1st Division club Brønshøj BK.[2] He became a regular in the club's starting lineup, and in January 2014 he extended his contract for a further 18 months.[3]

Dalgaard left Denmark for the first time in his career on 15 December 2014, signing for countryman Jimmy Nielsen at United Soccer League club OKC Energy.[4]

On 15 November 2016, Dalgaard moved across the conference to join fellow United Soccer League club Saint Louis FC.[5]

After departing Saint Louis, Dalgaard returned to his native Denmark and signed for 2nd Division club Middelfart G&BK on 9 March 2018.[6] After less than two months with the club, he extended his contract to the summer of 2019.[7]

In January 2019, Dalgaard returned to the USL Championship and reunited with Jimmy Nielsen by signing with Hartford Athletic.[8]

In February 2020, Dalgaard joined Tampa Bay Rowdies, also in the USL Championship.[9]
