"I would like to say thank you to everyone in and around Brondby IF for my time at the club, and to the many fans who support us week after week."
"I have felt welcome from day one, and I really appreciate that. An extra thank you to all my teammates, because without them I wouldn't be where I am today", says Jacob Rasmussen.
"I am proud and happy to now be a part of RB Salzburg , and I am prepared to give my all. RB Salzburg are a big name in European football and the work is very professional here. I am - just like the club - hungry for wins and titles, and I know just what is possible here, which just makes it all suit so well. I didn't need long to think about it. I want to give my all from day one here and convince everyone with my performances. "
Rouven Schröder, Sport Director at Red Bull Salzburg is thrilled that Jacob Rasmussen has chosen to continue his career in Austria.
"Jacob Rasmussen is a player who is bringing a lot of experience, and speaks fluent German, English and Danish while being a true leader. Coupled with his good ability to open the play with his left foot and his presence on the pitch, he will enrich us as a group. We had some very good open discussions with him and are pleased to be able to welcome him", says Schröder.
The 28-year-old central defender brings experience from several top European leagues like the Eredivisie and Serie A, having played for Feyenoord, Vitesse Arnheim and FC Empoli.
He was most recently at Brondby, where he was not only a key pillar of the defence (making 70 appearances in two years) but also captained the team.
