Rasmus Lauge Schmidt continues in Veszprém!

 

Rasmus Lauge Schmidt signed a 2+1 year contract with Telekom Veszprém. His contract will become valid at the Hungarian record champion on 1 July, 2019.

 

“Veszprém is a great club with big ambitions. They are going all in to win the Champions League. It is difficult to say no to them. I have heard a lot of positive things about them. I will do my best to hopefully bring titles to my future club. There is a great atmosphere in the Veszprém Arena, it is very difficult to play there as opponent. I am looking forward to have them as my home fans.” – said Rasmus.

 

The Danish left back was born in 1991 in Randers, but he started his professional career in Bjerringbro-Silkeborg. He won 2 silver and a bronze medal in Denmark before he signed with THW Kiel in 2013. He won the Bundesliga twice with Kiel, then in 2015 he signed with his current team SG Flensburg-Handewitt. The player with 193 cm height and 96 kg weight did not win any major trophies with Flensburg; however, it is without doubt that he became a force to be reckoned with in European handball. He scored 274 goals in the Champions League so far and in this season he is the second most effective player of his team with 45 goals.

 

He played 98 games in Danish colors and scored 196 goals on them. He won the European championship in 2012 with his country. Besides this, he achieved 2 silver medals from World championships and another silver from Junior World championships. He was the most useful player on Denmark in the 2018 European championship, as he finished at the top of the Canadian chart with 40 goals and 36 assists.

 

We wish many successes for Rasmus in our jersey!
