Nicolai Brock-Madsen (born 9 January 1993) is a Danish footballer who plays for English Football League Championship club Birmingham City. A forward, he previously spent five seasons with Randers FC, and represented Denmark at levels up to under-21.

Club career

Randers FC

Brock-Madsen signed a three-year contract with his hometown club, Randers FC, and scored his first goal in a Europa League match against F91 Dudelange which ended 6–1.[1]

In the 2012-13 season Brock-Madsen was a vital part of the Randers team that ended third in the league, playing a total of 28 league games and forming an attacking duo with Randers top-scorer Ronnie Schwartz. Brock-Madsen also helped the team reach the cup final where they lost to 0-1 to Esbjerg FB.

Birmingham City

On 21 August 2015, Brock-Madsen signed a four-year deal with English Football League Championship (second-tier) club Birmingham City. The fee was undisclosed,[2] but was believed by the BBC to be "in the region of £500,000, with possible add-ons taking it up to £1m."[3] He made his debut four days later, as a second-half substitute in Birmingham's 2–0 League Cup win against Gillingham.[4] He made his first appearance in the Football League on 15 September, again as a substitute, playing alongside Clayton Donaldson as Birmingham failed to come back from 1–0 down at home to Nottingham Forest in what was their first defeat of the season.[5]

Brock-Madsen made his first start for Birmingham on 21 November at home to Charlton Athletic, playing as a lone striker in place of Donaldson who was injured while on international duty. Manager Gary Rowett claimed that a penalty should have been awarded when Brock-Madsen's arm was pulled back; Birmingham lost 1–0.[6][7] He started the next two matches, in Donaldson's continued absence, but injury intervened, he gave way to loanee James Vaughan, and after Donaldson regained fitness, Brock-Madsen made no more first-team appearances in the 2015–16 season.[8][9]

International career

Brock-Madsen represented Denmark internationally at levels from under-18 to under-21.[10]

On 10 December 2012, Brock was called up for Denmark's tour of USA in January.[citation needed]

Brock-Madsen was called up to Denmark's Olympic training squad for friendly matches in June 2016 which formed part of their preparations for the Games in August.[11] His club confirmed that if he was included in the tournament squad then he would be released.[12]
