About

Mads Andersen is a Danish defender who plays for Luton Town. A product of Brøndby’s youth system in his homeland, the centre-back broke through at AC Horsens before earning a roughly £900,000 move to Barnsley in 2019. He went on to make a club-record number of appearances for a non-British or Irish player at the Yorkshire side, where he was eventually handed the captaincy and named in League One’s Team of the Season. Andersen joined Luton Town in July 2023 for a reported club-record fee, arriving as a commanding, aerially strong organiser at the heart of the defence. His first campaign was disrupted by a calf injury that forced a return to Denmark for rehabilitation. He remains under contract at Kenilworth Road until June 2026, with his wages reported at around £5,000 per week.
