Career

edit

Priske went on loan from FC Midtjylland to PSV Eindhoven in September 2021.[3] He started playing for their under-18 team and made his senior debut for Jong PSV in the Eerste Divisie in January 2022, scoring on his debut in a 5–1 win against Almere City.[4][5] The loan was repeated for the 2022–23 season but PSV stipulated an option to buy in the deal.[6][7]

Priske returned to Midtjylland ahead of the 2023–24 season and was given his Danish Superliga debut against Lyngby Boldklub on 6 August 2023.[8] However, two weeks later, he moved to Eerste Divisie side FC Eindhoven on a one-year loan deal and—at the same time—extended his contract with Midtjylland until June 2028.[9][10] After finishing his loan spell, Heiselberg returned to Midtjylland.[11]

International career

edit

Priske has represented the Denmark national under-19 football team.[12]

Personal life

edit

He was born in Belgium, and is the son of football manager and former Danish international football player Brian Priske.[13][2]
