Club career
Born in the Central Jutland city of Holstebro, Agger played amateur football for Lemvig GF in the eighth tier of Danish football.[2] He received his first professional contract in 2020, signing for Skive IK[2] who were competing in the Danish 1st Division at the time.[3] Both he and the club struggled in his debut season, as they were relegated to the 2nd Division.[4] He managed three goals after 27 appearances during the season. He found the back of the net 11 times in 32 league appearances in the following season.[5]
In 2022, Agger was signed by Næstved BK of the 1st Division.[6] He would spend only one season at Næstved Stadium, scoring nine goals over 32 appearances.[3] His performances caught the attention of fellow 1st Division club Sønderjyske, who signed him on 19 June 2023 on a three-year contract.[7] His first season with the club would prove to be successful, as Sønderjyske won the 1st Division title to gain promotion to the Danish Superliga.[8] During their promotion campaign, Agger provided nine goals and five assists over 32 appearances in both the league and the Danish Cup.[2]
On 11 August 2024, Agger made his first appearance in the top flight of Danish football, coming on the 39th minute as a substitute as Sønderjyske fell 0–2 to Copenhagen at Sydbank Park.[9] Just one week later on 18 August, he gave Sønderjyske a 2–1 victory at Randers FC where he scored both goals for the club.[10][11] His debut season in the top league finished with eight goals from 26 matches played as Sønderjyske finished 9th in the league table.[3][12]
On 25 February 2026, Agger moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Polish Ekstraklasa club Pogoń Szczecin until June 2029 with an option for a further year.[13]
Personal life
Mads is the younger brother of professional footballer Mikkel Agger,[2] who spent much of his career with Thisted before retiring in 2024. Their father, Søren Agger, also spent time in professional football for Herning Fremad.[14]
