Description

Thomas Joseph Delaney (born 3 September 1991) is a Danish professional footballer, who plays as a defensive midfielder for Danish Superliga club Copenhagen.

Delaney began his career at Copenhagen, making 249 total appearances and scoring 24 goals, while winning the Danish Superliga five times and the Danish Cup on four occasions. He then played in Germany for Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund, making 107 total Bundesliga appearances, before a move to Sevilla in 2021. Following loan stints at TSG Hoffenheim and Anderlecht, Delaney returned to Copenhagen in 2024.

Delaney made his international debut for Denmark in 2013. He was part of their squads at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024, reaching the semi-finals of the 2020 tournament.

Delaney made his debut for the Denmark under-18 team in October 2008, and went on to play three matches in total. He played 11 games for the Denmark U-19 team. On 11 August 2010, he made his debut for the Denmark U-21 team in a friendly against the Italy U-21 team.

Delaney made his debut for the senior national team on 15 October 2013 in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Malta. He played the full 90 minutes of the 6–0 home win. His second cap did not come until 25 March 2015, as a half-time substitute in a 3–2 friendly win over the United States in Aarhus.

Delaney scored his first international goal on 1 September 2017 to open a 4–0 home win over Poland in 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification. Three days later, he scored a hat-trick as the team came from behind to win 4–1 away to Armenia.

In June 2018, he was named in Denmark's squad for the World Cup in Russia. He was also named in the 26-man squad for UEFA Euro 2020. He scored the first goal in the 2–1 quarter-final game against the Czech Republic.

On 25 August 2024, Delaney announced his retirement from international football. He scored eight goals in 81 international appearances.

Delaney was born in Denmark and spent his youth there. His father was also born in Denmark but has American citizenship due to his own father (Thomas Delaney's paternal grandfather) being born in the United States. Delaney also has Irish roots through his paternal great-grandfather who moved from Ireland to the United States in the 19th century during the Great Famine.

Delaney is red–green colour blind.

Delaney married Michelle Lindemann Jensen on 27 December 2020. Michelle is the daughter of former Brøndby coach Henrik Jensen and the sister of former national team player Mike Jensen. Delaney and Michelle met while studying at Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College. They have a daughter, Billie, born in February 2021.
