He has signed a four-year contract with his new club, and upon his unveiling, he said he was “very happy” to join the club.

He said that he had been close to signing for them before, but that “it feels good to come here now.” He also described Rosenborg as “a big club” that has “a winning culture in the walls.”

He is the second St. Pauli player to join Rosenborg this winter, following the transfer of Jacob Rasmussen last month, like Hedenstad just months after moving to Hamburg.
