Max Johannes Whitta Fenger (Danish pronunciation: [ˈfeŋɐ]; born 7 August 2001) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a striker or a winger for Allsvenskan club IFK Göteborg.[2]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Fenger started playing in the youth system at FC Roskilde,[3] before signing with OB on 8 August 2018, after scoring 26 goals in a season in the U17 league for Roskilde.[4] He initially became part of the under-19 team of OB.[5]

He made his professional debut on 1 June 2020 in a 1–0 away loss to AGF, coming on as a substitute in the 47th minute for Mart Lieder.[6] His first goal for the club came in the play-offs for European football, scoring in a 2–1 away loss to Randers FC on 11 July after making a start.[7] In the return game, he secured advancement for OB by scoring a brace as the team won 2–0 at home.[8] Fenger finished his first season in the first team with 10 appearances, in which he scored four goals – all in the play-offs for European football, which OB eventually lost out after a 1–0 loss to AGF.[9]

Fenger struggled to find playing time the following season, as he was sidelined with a knee injury which he suffered in a loss to Brøndby IF on 8 November 2020.[10] He made his comeback on 9 April 2021 in a 0–1 home loss to Vejle Boldklub as a late substitute.[11][10]

On 23 March 2023, Fenger was sent on loan to Allsvenskan club Mjällby AIF until 31 July 2023.[12][13] On 27 July 2023 the club confirmed, that the loan spell had been extended until the end of 2023.[14]

On 14 February 2025, Fenger signed a three-year contract with IFK Göteborg.[2]
