Jesper Rask (born 18 July 1988) is a Danish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[1]

Career

Rask made his senior debut for AGF 29 October 2008 in a Danish Cup round of 16 match against OB, after then starting goalkeeper Steffen Rasmussen fell out with a hand injury prior to the game, and second goalkeeper Morten Hyldgaard was sidelined in the 80th minute with a thigh injury.[2] Rask thus became the third AGF goalkeeper to make his debut against OB in recent times, when Steffen Rasmussen and Erik Boye also started their careers in AGF with a match against OB.

Rask moved to Hobro IK in 2010, after his contract with AGF expired.[3] In the 2013–14 season, he was part of a Hobro-team which secured promotion to the Danish Superliga, four years after having promoted from the third tier 2nd Division. Hobro's successful season came as a surprise, as it had barely secured survival in the second tier the season before.[4] On 2 May 2014, shortly before promotion was a fact, he had extended his contract until the summer of 2016.[5]

On 6 March 2020, Rask announced his retirement from football after the 2019–20 season, following a 10-year tenure at Hobro.[6]
