The 17-year old has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal and will be part of the Under 23 squad under Scott Sellars.

Sóndergaard represented Denmark in the recent UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifiers.

Sporting director Kevin Thelwell said Odense Boldklub have "a long and strong tradition of developing young goalkeepers" which includes Burnley's former West Brom and Manchester United keeper Anders Lindegaard.

Thelwell said: “He’s a very tall boy and he’s going to develop all of the physical attributes to become a top goalkeeper and he’s technically excellent.

“We hope the attributes are going to stand him in good stead for a positive future at the club."
