GOG has signed a 3-year contract Henrik Tilsted from next season to the summer of 2021.
"GOG has probably the most attractive handball in Denmark. A game style with lots of speed and a playing style I can see myself in. In addition, it's a big club that I grew up watching in TV, so when I got the offer I was sure it was the right thing for me. GOG has an exciting squad right now, a new exciting coach and a story that shows that they focus on young players and wingers especially. I'm looking forward to becoming part of the counter attacking phase, which I think all wingers dream of being a part of," Henrik Tilsted states in a press release from GOG.
"We are excited to have another player in place for the coming season so we ensure that we have a top team - also in the coming seasons. Henrik Tilsted is a talented player with a great potential and we look forward to developing him even more in the yellow shirt," says GOG director Kasper Jørgensen.
"Henrik Tilsted is a player who has played stable for Mors-Thy Håndbold for several years now. He is another player who has a good level but still has more potential to redeem. We are looking forward to helping him. Henrik is good from the corner, has a nice physique and is also a really sensible defender. Through the talks with Henrik, I have been convinced of his great commitment, which is an absolute prerequisite for success in our environment. We are looking forward to Henrik and Emil Jakobsen to form a young but highly competent duo on the left-hand side next season," states GOG's head coach Nicolej Krickau.
