Simon Makienok Christoffersen (born 21 November 1990) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Hvidovre IF.
Born in Næstved, Makienok began his professional career at Herfølge Boldklub, which later became HB Køge, making his debut in 2009, before joining Brøndby IF in January 2012 for a fee of €550,000. After a two-and-a-half year spell at Brøndby, where the club barely avoided relegation, he was signed by Italian club Palermo for a fee reported to be €2.3 million in August 2014. Palermo then loaned him out to English sides Charlton Athletic and Preston North End, before he signed with Dutch side FC Utrecht in 2017. After two European appearances for the club, he suffered a knee injury which kept him sidelined for two years. He then played for Dynamo Dresden and FC St. Pauli in Germany before returning to Denmark in 2022 where he joined AC Horsens.
Makienok has also represented Denmark at senior and several youth levels, gaining his first cap for the senior side on 22 March 2013 as a 85th-minute substitute in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Czech Republic which ended in a 3–0 win for Denmark.
Career
Early career
Makienok grew up in Herlufmagle, and started playing for local club Suså IF at the age of 4, before making the move to Næstved Boldklub a few years later. On 27 August 2007, he transferred to the Herfølge Boldklub youth academy. He later told in the radio-show Fodboldeffekten on Radio 100, that Næstved Boldklub tried to retain him by offering him a job in a local Shell fuel station, due to lacking funds to pay players. After having spent a year in Herfølge, Makienok signed a five-year contract with the club. On 22 June 2009, he was effectively promoted to the first team competing in the Danish 1st Division (second highest division). He made 22 goals in 58 league appearances for Herfølge and since HB Køge, as part of a 2009 merger.
