The brother of the Norwegian superstar Sander Sagosen, Ciljan Sagosen, continues his career with Bjerringbro-Silkeborg Handball. The 18-year-old playmaker has already made his debut for the Norwegian senior national team and was named 'Newcomer of the Year' in the Norwegian league last season.

Bjerringbro-Silkeborg Handball has secured one of the most exciting young players in Scandinavia. Ciljan Sagosen has signed a four-year contract with the club and joins the BSH squad this season.

"Ciljan Sagosen is a player with enormous potential for development. He arrives on the back of an impressive season in the Norwegian league, where he demonstrated that he can perform at a high level. This was also rewarded with a call-up to the Norwegian senior national team," says Sports Director, Peter K. Bertelsen, in a press release.

"Ciljan possesses strong individual skills and, at the same time, has a great desire to learn and improve. He fits very well with the way we want to play handball at BSH, and we see great potential in being part of his continued development."

"At Bjerringbro-Silkeborg, we want to attract players who can contribute from day one while also taking the next step in their careers with us. Ciljan meets the criteria we work by, and we believe he can make significant strides in our environment," says Peter K. Bertelsen.

Ciljan Sagosen looks forward to making JYSK Arena in Silkeborg his home court.

"I think BSH has a very exciting squad and a project that I want to be a part of. I was flattered that such a big club was interested in me. I look forward to playing matches, getting to know the team, and experiencing the atmosphere surrounding the games. I’m also excited to get to know the city," says Ciljan Sagosen.
