The Tampa Bay Rowdies added another returning key contributor to the ranks for the upcoming 2023 USL Championship season with the announcement that midfielder Sebastian Dalgaard inked a new contract at the club.
Dalgaard has spent the last three years in Tampa Bay as an integral piece in the club’s success, appearing in 84 total matches as both a left and right wingback. In 2021, Dalgaard upped his offensive output to five goals, compared to just one in the previous two seasons.
“When you talk about consistency, Seb Dalgaard has been very consistent in his time here. He’s scored some fantastic goals this year, he managed to chip in with more goals than he’s had previously. He’s a real quality player who has played so many games and I think that’s a great trait in itself, to be available and to be playing and contributing.”
A native of Denmark, Dalgaard is now a well-established veteran of the USL Championship, having made stops at OKC Energy FC, Saint Louis FC, and Hartford Athletic. Tampa Bay has been his longest stint with a stateside club.
“I’m just very happy to be back with such a great club and to be back in Tampa Bay, a place I’ve been lucky to call home for the last three years,” said Dalgaard. “I’m excited to keep getting better and have the chance to compete for another trophy with the Rowdies.”
