FC Nordsjaelland have secured the future of one of their most exciting young prospects, as Ghanaian midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi has penned a new contract that will keep him at the Danish Superliga side until the summer of 2030.
At just 19 years old, Yirenkyi has already become a central figure in the Nordsjaelland setup, amassing 29 league appearances since making his senior debut. His assured performances and growing influence in midfield have quickly made him indispensable to the team.
The Ghana international, who has already earned six caps for his country, has been lauded for his remarkable poise, consistency, and tactical maturity, qualities well beyond his age.

Nordsjaelland’s football director, Alexander Riget, spoke glowingly about Yirenkyi’s progress and character following the announcement of the extension.
“Through a fantastic mentality and hard work every single day, Caleb has undergone excellent development over the past year and established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Super League. Therefore, we have chosen to honor him with a new contract,” Riget said.
While the new deal extends his stay by only six more months beyond his previous 2029 expiry, the decision underscores the club’s unwavering belief in his potential and their desire to anchor the midfield around him for years to come.
So far this campaign, Yirenkyi has featured 12 times in the league, continuing to showcase his trademark energy, vision, and composure, hallmarks of his rapidly evolving game.

The extension also deepens Nordsjaelland’s enduring relationship with Ghanaian football, strengthened through their long-standing partnership with the Right to Dream Academy, a system that has consistently produced world-class talents for both club and country.
With Yirenkyi now locked in for the long haul, Nordsjaelland’s commitment to youth development and its Ghanaian pipeline remains as strong as ever.
