William Elgaard Kaastrup (born 21 March 2004) is a Danish footballer who plays as a left-back for Danish 1st Division club FC Roskilde.

Club career

On 21 January 2023, Randers FC confirmed that the club had signed 18-year old Kaastrup from F.C. Copenhagen, effective from the summer of 2023.[2] Five days later, however, Randers confirmed that the clubs had agreed on a deal that sent Kaastrup to Randers with immediate effect instead.[3] Kaastrup signed a deal until June 2026.[citation needed]

After a few appearances for Randers' U19 team, Kaastrup made his official debut for his new club on 23 April 2023 against Brøndby IF, replacing Adam Andersson for the last few minutes.[4] In pursuit of more playing time, on 31 January 2024, Kaastrup was loaned to Swedish Allsvenskan club Västerås until the end of the year.[5]

However, Kaastrup did not play any official matches in Västerås before returning to Denmark in the summer of 2024, and on 2 September 2024 his contract with Randers was also terminated.[6]

On September 12, 2024 Kaastrup moved to Danish 1st Division club FC Roskilde on a deal until June 2025.[7]
