Heidi Johansen (born 5 April 1978)[1] is a Danish former handball player. She is a European champion from 2002.[2]
She started her career at Vorup FB, where she played together with later national team colleagues Merete Møller and Katrine Fruelund.[2] After 2 years she joined the local top league team Randers HK. She played in Randers for three years, broken up by a long travel period around the world.[3] Afterwards she joined Frederikshavn FOX Team Nord for two years, before returning to Randers HK.[2] In 2005 she extended her contract with another year. The reason for the relatively short extension, was according to her that she could feel handball taking a toll on her body, and therefore only wanted to extend with one year at a time.[4]
In 2006-07 she missed the entire championship playoff due to a cruciate ligament injury.[5] When she retired in 2008 she had the fourth most appearances for Randers HK with 190 appearances.[2]
