Jakob Blåbjerg Mathiasen (born 11 January 1995) is a Danish defender playing for AaB.[1]

Youth career

Blåbjerg joined AaB as a U14 player from Vejgaard Boldspilklub.[2]

Club career

AaB

In September 2012, Blåbjerg signed his first full time contract and would be promoted to the first team squad from the summer 2013.[3] He got his Superliga debut for AaB in February 2013 against Silkeborg IF alongside Kasper Pedersen, as the four regular options for the centre back position were all out with either injuries or bans. So Blåbjerg was promoted to the first team squad in the summer 2013 at the age of 18, but didn't play any games the whole season. However, AaB won the league and the Danish Cup in this season.

But the season after, he got his real breakthrough. He played 7 league games in the first half year after the new year break, he played 11 games and did really well. After a good season, he signed a contract extension in the summer, which would keep him in the club until 2018.[4] Blåbjerg was mostly used as a fullback, but prefers to play as a centre back. The 2015/16 season was also a good season for Blåbjerg. He played 26 league games for AaB despite his young age and 22 league games in the 2016/17 season.

Private life

Blåbjerg studied energy on bachelor's degree at Aalborg University and reads to engineer.[5] Aalborg University had a collaboration with AaB, so when Blåbjerg was in Dubai with the Danish U21 national team, he took a exam through his computer.[6]
