Pernille Harder Mosegaard (born 15 November 1992) is a Danish football striker currently playing for Linköping FC in Sweden's Damallsvenskan[1] and the Danish national team.[2]

Club career

Before signing for Linköpings in June 2012 Harder played for Team Viborg and IK Skovbakken in her country's Elitedivisionen.[3]

Harder chose a club in Sweden for a new challenge, but also because she wanted to remain in Scandinavia. In September 2013 she scored all four goals in Linköpings' 4–1 win at relegation-bound Sunnanå SK.[4]

International career

At 16 she contributed a hat-trick to a crushing 15–0 win over Georgia in her senior international debut in October 2009, and she has continued to score regularly for the Danish team ever since.[5]

Harder scored further hat-tricks against Austria and Armenia in 2011 and Russia in 2013.[6] She was named in national coach Kenneth Heiner-Møller's Denmark squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013.[7] With nine goals she had been the team's top goalscorer in qualifying.[8]

In October 2013, Harder won her 50th cap for Denmark in a 1–1 draw with Serbia. She scored Denmark's goal in the match.[9]
