Claus Bech Jorgensen, a former international player and coach, visited the MV8 facilities and shared his experiences with our players. The MV8 boys had the chance to learn from a player with a long career in English football by asking questions at the end of his talk.

Claus Jorgensen, who was an attacking midfielder, was born in Holstebro, Denmark, and was a professional player for 10 years in England from 1999 – 2009.

First he established himself as a competent player in the Danish Football League with Holstebro BK, AGF Aarhus and AC Horsens, though did not make the Superliga. In 1999 he moved to England and made over 100 appearances for Bournemouth and Blackpool as well as more than 50 appearances for Bradford City and Coventry City. He helped Blackpool to win promotion out of League One via the play-offs in 2007. He ended his career in 2010 after brief spells with Port Vale and Fleetwood Town.

At the end of his career, Claus Jorgensen joined Coventry City’s coaching staff, helping to run the Academy’s Under-14s.

“I’m also continuing to work on my coaching badges and it’s really nice to be able to give something back to my old club and work with the young lads at such a fantastic Academy.”

Another great experience for our players who were, clearly, interested to learn from someone with such experience.
