Julian Eskesen, a bonnie lad hailing from Denmark, was born on the 16th of March 1999 which makes him a spry 26 years of age. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.75m) and tipping the scales at 10st 9lb (68kg), he is a solid presence in the midfield. He is currently proudly holding the fort as a central midfielder for Dundee United in Scotland, sporting the number 10 jersey.
Journeying back to July 2016, Eskesen started his professional football stint as a trainee with Odense BK in the Superliga, Denmark's premier league. Throughout the 2017-2018 season, Eskesen held the pitch for Odense BK thrice during league encounters. He seemed to find his footing in the following 2018 - 2019 season, featuring in 19 league matches. In the later 2019 - 2020 season at Odense BK, he was part of five league games.
Following his time at Odense, Eskesen switched his footballing allegiance to Sonderjyske, another Superliga team in Denmark, in January 2020. In the half-season that followed, he maintained his previous performance, participating in five more league fixtures. Eskesen truly rose to the challenge in the 2020 - 2021 season, finding himself on the pitch in a staggering 32 league battles for Sonderjyske. However, he made a smaller splash in the 2021 - 2022 season, featuring in 13 matches.
Building on his success in Denmark, the midfielder made a strategic move to Norway in March 2022. Signing with Haugesund in the OBOS-ligaen, the transfer fee remains a well-guarded secret. He flourished during the 2022 season, showing remarkably consistent performance across 26 league confrontations in which he scored three goals. His prowess continued in 2023, scoring a solitary goal across 20 appearances and he maintained his form into the 2024 season. His fourth season at Haugesund saw a dip in performance, scoring just once in 13 games.
Finally, our tale brings us to the present day. In August 2025, Eskesen made the bold leap to Scotland's Premiership, joining the ranks at Dundee United for another undisclosed fee. Currently in the 2025 - 2026 season, he has set foot on the pitch nine times in league matches.
Nae to forget, Eskesen's single appearance from the bench in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Dundee United. A small slice of football history etched into the fabric of this proud Danish player's career.
