Sanne Troelsgaard Nielsen (born 15 August 1988) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder, most recently for Reading of the FA Women's Championship. Since 2008, she has been a part of the senior Danish national team.
Club career
In 2011, Troelsgaard was named Denmark's Player of the Year after scoring 29 goals in her first 15 matches for Skovbakken.[2] In February 2017, Troelsgaard signed for FC Rosengård in the Swedish Damallsvenskan.[3]
On 21 December 2021, Reading announced the signing of Troelsgaard on a contract until June 2023.[4] On 11 January 2024, Reading announced the departure of Troelsgaard from the club by mutual consent.[5]
International career
Troelsgaard made her senior international debut for Denmark in March 2008, playing the last four minutes of a 1–0 win over Finland at the 2008 Algarve Cup.[6] At the 2011 Matchworld Women's Cup in June 2011, she scored all three goals in the Danes' 3–0 win over Wales.[7]
A serious illness in the family caused Troelsgaard to withdraw from national coach Kenneth Heiner-Møller's squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013.[8]
