Martin Halle (born 16 October 1981) is a Danish retired football player in the defender position. He played for a number of Danish clubs, including FC Midtjylland, AC Horsens, and SønderjyskE in the Danish Superliga championship.
Biography[edit]
Halle started his career with Danish 1st Division clubs Aarhus GF and FC Århus. During his time at FC Århus, he joined top-flight Danish Superliga team FC Midtjylland on loan in February 2003,[1] and played one Superliga game for the club in May 2003.
In the summer of 2004, Halle joined 1st Division rivals AC Horsens under manager Kent Nielsen.[2] He was a part of the first team starting line-up for almost his entire time at the club, playing as a left back defender. In his first season with the Horsens, he helped the club win promotion for the Superliga. He never scored a Superliga goal for Horsens, but his defensive qualities gained him his place in the team. He played full-time in the first 12 games of the Danish Superliga 2005-06, but suffered an injury,[3] and did not re-establish his place in the team until April 2006. He underwent surgery in the off-season,[4] and did not enter the starting line-up until the eighth round of the Danish Superliga 2006-07, but only missed two games for the rest of the season. With Halle's contract expiring in the summer 2008,[5] Horsens brought in left back Joseph Elanga in January 2008, and Halle left the club to join 1st Division side SønderjyskE.[6]
In his first season at SønderjyskE, Halle helped the club win promotion for the Superliga. He suffered from several injuries during his first time at Horsens,[7] and took part in 16 of 33 games during the Danish Superliga 2008-09, including only one full-time game. He got an extended run in the first team in the first months of the Danish Superliga 2009-10, but was eventually replaced by Andrei Sidorenkov. He ended his career in May 2010, due to persisting injury problems.[8]
