Club career

Kaltoft rose through the ranks of Danish third tier club B.93. On 1 November 2016, he made his debut for the first team at age 16 as a late substitute in the home match against Nykøbing FC which was won 3–2. That made him the youngest player to make a senior debut for B.93 since 1920.[2]

Kaltoft attracted interest from Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF which resulted in him signing onto a youth contract with the team.[3] One year later, Kaltoft was signed by Danish 1st Division team Vendsyssel FF on a deal keeping him in Northern Jutland until 2020.[4] This move reunited him with former teammate Emmanuel Ogude, who he played with in B.93. In the summer of 2018 yet another former B.93 teammate Sebastian Czajowski joined the Northern Jutland team. At the end of his first season with Vendsyssel FF Kaltoft helped the team qualify for the Danish Superliga for the first time [5] and he made his Superliga debut in a match against Aab fodbold in June 2018. He scored his first Superliga goal in a 1-1 tie against Hobro IK on 16 September 2018.[6]

    gollark: The 120GB one is mostly stuff which doesn't compress well so honestly that should just be rsynced but oh well.
    gollark: Well, I backup different things separately, so they range from about 100MB to 120GB.
