Mark has played in GOG since 2010, where he came from Nordsjælland Håndbold. Last season, he made 109 goals for GOG.

"Mark has been one of the best right wings in Danish handball in recent years, and he is among others absolutely amazing in the counter-attacks," says Jan Larsen, director of Aalborg Håndbold. "After a few years in the League he knows the Danish League very well and brings a lot of routine - he fits perfectly into Aalborg Håndbold," concludes Jan Larsen.

"I am looking forward to a new handball chapter and look forward to starting in Aalborg Håndbold. They have been a continuous top club in recent years, and I look forward to playing in front of the great North Jutland home audience from next season," says Mark Strandgaard.
