He has played more than 450 games for the club, and has won five Danish Superliga championships.

[edit] Biography
He played at youth level for Herfølge BK before moving to Brøndby IF, for whom he represented the Danish under-19 national team. He signed his first professional contract with Brøndby IF in January 1993, alongside under-19 national teammates Allan Ravn and Ole Puggaard. He made his senior debut for Brøndby on July 3, 1993, and was a part of the Brøndby team which won the 1994 Danish Cup. Daugaard was called up for the Danish under-21 national team in May 1994, and he went on to play 17 matches and score a single goal until July 1996.
He established himself in the Brøndby starting line-up during the 1995-96 season, under manager Ebbe Skovdahl. Daugaard only missed eight of 99 league games as Brøndby won three Danish Superliga championships in a row, from 1996 to 1998, as well as the 1998 Danish Cup, and he won the 1998 Brøndby IF Player of the Year award. He was called up for the Danish national league team, comprising the best players of the Danish Superliga, on a number of occasions, and played seven unofficial national league team games from January 1997 to January 2000.
When Åge Hareide was appointed new Brøndby manager in January 2000, for the 2000-01 season, Daugaard received stiff competition from Swedish players Krister Nordin and Magnus Svensson. Daugaard eventually reclaimed his starting position in the 2003-04 season, under new coach Michael Laudrup. He played 31 of 33 games in the 2004-05 season, as Brøndby won the 2005 Superliga championship. With a goal in the 2005 Danish Cup final, he helped Brøndby win the Double that year.
