Thelonious "Thelo" Gerard Aasgaard (born 2 May 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Rangers. Born in England, he represents the Norway national team.

Early life and youth career

[edit | edit source]

Aasgaard was born in Liverpool in 2002. Both of his parents have musical backgrounds; his father Jonathan is a professional cellist, and his mother Georgina is a music and health practitioner.[3] Aasgaard joined the youth academy of Wigan Athletic at the age of 14, having previously been a part of the youth set-up at Liverpool,[4] and signed scholarship forms with the club in 2018.[5] His progress in the academy ranks was interrupted by injuries during the following two seasons,[3] but he impressed enough for his scholarship deal to be extended for a third year in 2020.[6]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Wigan Athletic

[edit | edit source]

As a result of Wigan being put into administration in the 2019–20 season, and the team's subsequent relegation from the Championship, Aasgaard was promoted to the club's first-team squad along with several other academy players for their 2020–21 League One campaign.

Aasgaard made his professional debut with Wigan in a 1–0 EFL League One loss at home to Peterborough United on 20 October 2020.[7] He scored his first goal for Wigan in a 2–1 defeat against Oxford United on 21 November 2020.[8] In January 2021, Aasgaard signed his first professional contract with Wigan, signing until the summer of 2023.[9] He ended his first season having played 35 times in all competitions, including 13 league starts, scoring three goals.[10]

After the start of the 2021–22 season, Aasgaard signed an improved four-and-a-half-year contract, running until June 2026.[11] In July 2023, he signed a further contract extension until 2028.[12]

Luton Town

[edit | edit source]

On 28 January 2025, Aasgaard signed for Championship side Luton Town for an undisclosed fee.[13] On 1 February 2025, Aasgaard made his debut for Luton in a 1–1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday.

Rangers

[edit | edit source]

After Luton’s relegation from the Championship, Aasgaard joined Scottish Premiership club Rangers on 5 July 2025 for an undisclosed fee which was reported to be £3.5 million. He signed a contract running until 2029.[14] After an early injury ruled him out of the opening league and European fixtures, Thelo finally made his debut coming on as a second half substitute in a 4–2 victory over Alloa Athletic in the Premier Sports League Cup.

International career

[edit | edit source]

Aasgaard was born in Liverpool, England, and is of Norwegian descent through his father, and of French descent through his mother.[15]

He represented the Norway under-16 team three times in 2018.[16]

In August 2021, Aasgaard was called up to the Norway under-20 team for the first time, and made his debut on the right of midfield in their 1–1 draw with Germany under-20 on 6 September 2021.[17]

On the 9th September, 2025, Aasgaard scored four goals for Norway off the bench at the 65th minute against Moldova in an 11–1 victory in the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers.[18]
