Peter Nicolai Kruse Bjur (Danish pronunciation: [ˈpʰe̝ˀtɐ ˈpjuɐ̯ˀ]; born 2 February 2000) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish 1st Division club Esbjerg fB. He has represented Denmark at youth level. He is the son of former Danish international and Brøndby IF player Ole Bjur.

Early and personal life

[edit | edit source]

Bjur was born in Rødovre, a suburb of Copenhagen. His father, Ole Bjur, is a former professional player for Brøndby IF and the Denmark national team. He also has a mother and a sister, with whom he has lived in Rødovre his entire life.[2] His uncle, Jan Bjur, is also a former professional footballer.[4]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Early career

[edit | edit source]

Bjur began his career at BK Avarta, having his first practice the day after turning five years old.[5] He played in Avarta for several years before moving to B.93 as an under-15 player.[2][5] He made his senior-team debut as a seventeen-year-old on 1 March 2017, coming on as a 35th-minute substitute in a 3–0 loss to Danish Superliga club F.C. Copenhagen in the Danish Cup round of 16 at Parken Stadium.[6]

Brøndby

[edit | edit source]

On 1 July 2017, Bjur signed a three-year contract with Brøndby IF and joined the club on under-17 level.[7] On 15 August 2019, he made his first team debut as a 73rd-minute substitute for Simon Hedlund against Portuguese opposition Braga in Brøndby's UEFA Europa League play-offs, scoring an 85th-minute goal.[8][9] A few days later, on 18 August, Bjur made his Danish Superliga debut coming on as a second-half substitute against AaB. As the summer transfer window closed, the club stated that they did not want to loan out Bjur, despite the squad being too large.[10] On 13 December, he signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with Brøndby, running until 2023.[11] He made his only second league appearance for the club on 5 July 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 loss to AaB in the Superliga.[12]

Prior to the 2020–21 season, in pre-season friendlies against Næstved Boldklub, FC Helsingør, OB and English side Crystal Palace, Bjur was utilised at the left wing-back position.[13][14] On his positional change, he stated: "Of course, moving down and playing on the wing-back is a bit of an upheaval. But many of the skills I have previously used on the right wing are some of the same things that recur on the wingback".[15] Head coach Niels Frederiksen subsequently praised Bjur's performances on the new position.[16]

On 13 September, on the first matchday of the new season, Bjur made his first start for Brøndby at the left wing-back position in a 3–2 home win over Nordsjælland.[17] After starter Blás Riveros fell out with a serious knee injury in November 2020, Bjur took over as starter at left wing-back, but he himself fell out with an injury in a match against AGF on 7 December.[18]

AGF

[edit | edit source]

On 27 January 2023, Bjur signed a four-year contract with AGF.[19] He scored his first goal for the club on 14 May 2023, exploiting a mistake from opposing goalkeeper Andreas Hansen to secure a 1–1 home draw against Nordsjælland.[20]

Esbjerg fB

[edit | edit source]

On 16 August 2024, recently promoted Danish 1st Division club Esbjerg fB announced the signing of Bjur on a three-year contract.[21] He made his debut for the club the following day, coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 home win over Vendsyssel.[22] On 24 August, he scored his first goal for Esbjerg in a 4–1 home victory against HB Køge, helping the team move into second place in the league table.[23]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Bjur has won two caps for Denmark at U17 and U18 level.[24]
