Norwegian winger in new Danish CL team

Ikast/Bording EH finished second in the Danish Women´s league and got the right to represent Denmark in the Champions League next season with Viborg HK.

Ikast want to be competitive in their first ever CL season and signed right winger Alette Stang from a Norwegian club, Tertnes. The player signs for three years.

Ikast already have an high quality right winger, the Norwegian international Ragnhild Aamodt. However, her substitute Mette Jensen will leave the club

“I think this club is a fine place to develop. I also heard that the environment is good here, so you might say that I get a whole package,” said the 24-year old. Alette Stand played two internationals for Norway so far and she was awarded Player of the Year in Norway in 2005/06.

International ambitions

“I want to be acknowledged in top Danish handball. I hope my time in Denmark can bring me back to the Norwegian national team where I would like to play,” Alette Stang added.

“We hope to play a lot of important matches next season from September until May. This requires a large squad, but I do not see Alette as a substitute only. She has the potential to become Ragnhild Aamodt´s successor some time in the future,” Ikast´s sports director Frank Henriksen predicted.

Alette Stang played five years for Tertnes before signing with Ikast.

In general the Ikast squad is undergoing major changes these days, as six players are leaving the club, and six signed so far.
