Danish international line player Kathrine Heindal has signed a new contract with Team Esbjerg until the end of the season and hopes that she will regain fitness after giving birth to become a potential choice for the Danish squad for the Handball World Championships at the end of the year.
Approximately two months after her birth, Kathrine Heindahl is ready to resume her handball career in Team Esbjerg, where her three-year contract expired this summer.
The club has agreed a new contract with the 33-year-old line player until the end of this season, and she joins a trio of two new players in the position, Olivia Loefqvist and Tabea Schmid.
"It is a dream scenario that I can now combine family life and handball, and there was not much time to think before I said yes. I have an idea that the club will buy into my experience, charisma, and leadership, and that I will win at all costs."
"In addition, I have a lot of experience from having participated in big matches with the club team and the national team, which I think I can pass on to Olivia and Tabea", says Kathrine Heindahl.
Kathrine Heindahl says on Esbjerg's website that she has been approached by several clubs, and she also makes no secret of the fact that she would like to be considered for this year's World Championships.
"My goal has always been the European Championships in 2026, but since then, other key players in the national team have become unavailable for the tournament, and I can't excuse myself from thinking about the World Championships at the end of the year. I'm going to chase it", says Heindahl.
