Club career

AaB

On 14 July 2003, Kortegaard was loaned out to FC Nordjylland.[1] Kortegaard was moved up to the first team in the summer 2004. He played a big role on the team though his young age, and the club extended his contract in May 2006 until the summer 2007.[2] However in 2007, the club didn't wanted to extend his contract further and he left the club.[3]

AC Horsens

Just few hours after leaving AaB, it was announced, that Kortegaard had signed a two-year contract with AC Horsens.[4] He got a new contract in May 2008.[5]

Coaching career

Kortegaard announced his retirement on 16 August 2019 because he was struggling with aftermaths from a cancer operation and thus stopped his career.[6] He became a part of Bo Henriksen's first team staff at AC Horsens instead.[7] He left the position on 29 June 2020 because he was going to be a teacher at a sports school.[8]
