Claes Phillip Kronberg (né Jørgensen) (born 19 April 1987) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a full-back for KÍ Klaksvík.

Career[edit]

Kronberg was born in Nykøbing Falster where he also played for Lolland Falster Alliancen. Kronberg joined Sarpsborg 08 in 2011. He made his debut for Sarpsborg 08 in a 3–1 loss against Lillestrøm.

In July 2013 he changed his surname to Kronberg after he married his girlfriend.[2]

Kronberg joined Viking ahead of the 2016 season. After the 2018 season, Viking did not renew Kronberg's contract and thus he left the club.[3]

On 19 June 2019, Kronberg signed for Sandnes Ulf after training with them for several months.[4] He made his debut for the club the same day when Sandnes Ulf lost 2–1 against his former club Viking in the third round of the 2019 Norwegian Cup.[5]

Kronberg moved to Faroe Islands Premier League club KÍ Klaksvík in February 2021, after ten years in Norway.[6] His tenure with the club witnessed remarkable achievements, playing a pivotal role in their domestic triumphs and historic European feats. Notably, he was part of KÍ becoming first Faroese club to advance to the group stage of a major UEFA-organised European tournament, qualifying for the 2023–24 edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League.[7] Additionally, they secured three consecutive league titles in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons.[8]

Personal life[edit]

During his tenure at KÍ Klaksvík in the semi-professional Faroe Islands Premier League, Kronberg balanced his football career with employment at a car dealership.[9]
