Randers FC defensive player acquisitions

Overview

Randers FC has completed two defensive signings in late August 2026.

On August 28, the club signed 19-year-old Danish defender Simon Stüker from Silkeborg IF. Stüker, a right-back with significant youth national team experience, joined to seek more consistent playing time and provide depth following injuries to other players. The transfer involved a personal connection, as Silkeborg IF’s sports director is the player’s father.

On August 31, Randers FC announced the signing of 22-year-old Norwegian defender Nikolai Hopland on a four-year contract. Hopland joined from the Dutch club SC Heerenveen, bringing experience from the Eredivisie and the Norwegian U21 national team.
