IFK Norrköping has promoted 16-year-old left-back Viggo Fälth to its senior squad, according to the club's official website. Fälth has signed a contract with the club that runs through the 2028 season. He reportedly trained with the senior team throughout the winter and first trained with them last summer.
Fälth described himself as an aggressive full-back who likes to join the attack and is calm with the ball. Sporting director Henrik Jurelius said the decision was made to give Fälth a chance and evaluate him over a longer period, noting his maturity and contributions in training and matches. The promotion follows praise from coach Eldar Abdulic, who reportedly said Fälth could become very good and play for any team in the world if his development continues.
