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,[1] and represented Denmark at levels up to under-21.[2]

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.

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

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,[3] but was believed by the BBC to be "in the region of £500,000, with possible add-ons taking it up to £1m."[4] He made his debut four days later, as a second-half substitute in Birmingham's 2–0 League Cup win against Gillingham.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7][8]
