Pontus Texel

Pontus Andy Texel (born 27 February 2004) is a Danish footballer who plays as a right-back for Liga Portugal 2 side C.D. Mafra.

FC Midtjylland
In the summer of 2019, Texel joined FC Midtjylland's academy as an U17 player. Before the move, Texel played for FC Nordsjælland. Already as a 16-year-old, Texel got his first match for Midtjylland's U-19 team, and he was promoted to the squad halfway through 2021, despite being a U-17 player. In 2021–22, Texel became an important part of the U-19 team and was also captain.

His good performances at U-19 level were rewarded in June 2022 with a professional contract until June 2027, which Texel signed. From there, things went quickly: on October 13, 2022, he was on the bench for the first team in the UEFA Europa League match against Feyenoord, and on October 19, 2022, he made his official debut in the Danish Cup against FA 2000.

After that, he was called up for the first team squad a few times, but he had to wait until June 3, 2023, before he got his chance again: here, he made his Danish Superliga debut against Odense Boldklub, replacing Mads Døhr Thychosen for the last 23 minutes.

CD Mafra
On July 18, 2023, Texel, along with two other teammates, moved to Liga Portugal 2 club C.D. Mafra. Texel made his debut for the club in a league match on August 19, 2023, against F.C. Paços de Ferreira.

On July 10, 2024, Mafra confirmed that Texel had signed a new contract until 2029.
