Johan Meyer (born 5 January 2004) is a Danish footballer who plays as a centre-back for Danish Superliga club Lyngby Boldklub.

Career

Born and raised in Hillerød, Meyer took his first football steps in Hillerød Fodbold, where he started at the age of 4.[1] In 2017, Meyer moved to FC Nordsjælland, where he joined the club's academy. Meyer played there until January 2023, where he - according to media reports - turned down several Italian clubs to move to Lyngby Boldklub on a contract until June 2023.[2]

19-year-old Meyer spent the first six months with the club's U-19 team, but was also selected for a Danish Superliga match in May, where he had to stay on the bench for the entire match.[3] On 20 June 2023, Meyer extended his contract with Lyngby until 2024 with an option to extend, and he was also permanently promoted to the first team squad.[4]

On 6 August 2023, Meyer made his official debut for Lyngby, coming on for the final few minutes of the 4–1 win over FC Midtjylland in the Danish Superliga.[5][6]
