Simon Bogetoft Pytlick (born 11 December 2000) is a Danish handball player for SG Flensburg-Handewitt and the Danish national team.[1]

He made his debut for the Danish national team on 4 November 2021, against Norway at the 2021–22 Golden League Tournament in Trondheim.[2][3] In 2023, he was part of the Danish team that won the World Championship. Initially, Pytlick expected to be a backup player to "patch some holes," but he became a major contributor, scoring nine goals in the final.[4]

In November 2024, he was named vice-captain of the Danish national team behind Magnus Saugstrup.[5]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Pytlick began playing handball in the youth ranks of GOG Håndbold in 2012. He debuted in the Danish Men's Handball League in 2019, playing six matches and scoring ten goals in his first season. Due to teammate Emil Lærke's injury, he gained more playing time in the 2019–20 season and won the Talent of the Year award.[6] The following season, he won the Danish championship and was selected for the league's All-Star team.[7]

In 2022, Pytlick extended his contract with GOG but played only one more season, winning another Danish championship.[8] In 2023, he signed with SG Flensburg-Handewitt.[9] In February 2025, he broke his right arm during a match against Toulouse Handball in the EHF European League.[10] Despite the injury, he extended his contract with Flensburg until 2030 in April 2025.[11]

In December 2025 he announced his intention to join Füchse Berlin in the summer of 2027. He cited his friendship with national team colleague Mathias Gidsel as one of the primary reasons for the transfer.[12]
