Carl Lange (born 7 October 1998) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eliteserien club Vålerenga.
A product of HIK, Lange began his senior career with the club before joining FC Helsingør in 2018. After four seasons at Helsingør, he moved to Vendsyssel FF, where his form in the 2023–24 Danish 1st Division earned him a transfer to Eliteserien club Vålerenga in 2024.
HIK
Lange was born in Copenhagen and spent most of his youth career with HIK. From under-14 to under-15 level, he was also part of FC Copenhagen's School of Excellence before returning to HIK.[2]
In June 2017, HIK gave Lange a first-team contract for the 2017–18 season after what the club described as an "explosive" breakthrough in the spring qualification campaign, during which he scored twice.[3] By the time he left the club the following year, he had made 43 first-team appearances and scored 11 goals.[4]
Helsingør
In July 2018, Lange signed a three-year contract with FC Helsingør after training with the club's first-team squad for several weeks.[4] He joined on a free transfer from HIK.[4] During his time at Helsingør, he helped the club win promotion back to the Danish 1st Division. He later established himself in the side during a season in which Helsingør secured a top-six finish.[5] After four seasons with the club, he left in August 2022 to join Vendsyssel FF.[5]
Vendsyssel
Lange joined Vendsyssel FF in August 2022.[5] He became an important attacking player for the club and, in the 2023–24 season, scored 11 goals in 27 league matches.[6] When Vendsyssel sold him to Vålerenga in May 2024, the transfer was described by the Danish club as a record sale.[7] Lange left Vendsyssel after 55 appearances and 16 goals.[8]
Vålerenga
On 28 May 2024, Lange signed for Norwegian First Division club Vålerenga on a contract running until the end of 2027.[6] He made his debut for the club on 20 July, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 away win over Start.[9] Later that season, Vålerenga sealed promotion back to the Eliteserien.[10]
