Conrad Harder Weibel Schandorf (born 7 April 2005) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Primeira Liga club Sporting CP and the Denmark national team.[1]
Harder played for the under-14 team for KB.[2]
Harder is a product of FC Nordsjælland where he worked his way up through the youth ranks. After a strong 2022–23 season for the club's U-19 team, scoring 27 goals in 24 games, Harder made his official debut for FC Nordsjælland in the final Danish Superliga match of the 2022–23 season against Viborg FF, when the 18-year-old striker came on for the last three minutes of the match.[3][4]
He made four appearances in the first four games of the 2023–24 season, where he also scored his first goal for the club, before FC Nordsjælland announced on 5 September 2023, that they had signed a new three-year full-time contract with Harder, who would also be promoted permanently to the first team squad.[5] After a good start to the 2024-25 season, with two goals in Harder's second game of the season, the club confirmed on 22 August 2024 that they had extended Harder's contract until June 2028.[6]
On 2 September 2024, Harder joined Primeira Liga club Sporting CP on a five-year contract for a fee of €19 million and a reported €80 million release clause.[7][8] Prior to signing for Sporting, Harder had attracted interest from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion, despite Nordsjælland accepting a bid from them, but upon learning of Sporting's interest, he decided to join them instead.[9][10]
He made his competitive debut for his new club on 17 September, and also his UEFA Champions League debut, in Sporting's 2–0 victory over Lille during the inaugural matchday of the newly formatted Champions League league phase.[11] Harder scored his first goal in a 3–0 win against AVS five days later.[12] In his first start, on 18 October, Harder scored a brace in a 2–1 over Portimonense in third round of the Taça de Portugal.[13]
On 29 January 2025, he scored his maiden Champions League goal in a 1–1 home draw against Bologna, securing his team's progression to the knockout phase play-offs qualification.[14] Having helped Sporting secure the Primeira Liga title, on 17 May, he came of the bench and scored and assisted in extra-time, to help Sporting defeat crosstown rivals Benfica 3–1 in the Taça de Portugal final, on 25 May, while also completing their first domestic double since the 2001–02 season.[15]
