Pernille Harder Mosegaard (born 15 November 1992) is a Danish footballer who plays as a striker for Linköping FC of Sweden's Damallsvenskan[1] and for the Denmark 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] Skovbakken had made Harder and her contemporary Sofie Junge Pedersen contracted players in April 2010, in recognition of their exception potential.[4]

Harder chose a Swedish club for her next destination because she wanted 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.[5]

International career

At the inaugural 2008 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in New Zealand, Harder was part of the Denmark team who won their group before losing 4–0 to eventual champions North Korea in the quarter-final.[6] Still 16 years old, 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.[7]

Harder scored further hat-tricks against Austria and Armenia in 2011 and Russia in 2013.[8] She was named in national coach Kenneth Heiner-Møller's Denmark squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013.[9] With nine goals she had been the team's top goalscorer in qualifying.[10]

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.[11]
