Career

edit

Oliver Ross, like his older brother Mathias Ross, came to AaB from partner club Aalborg KFUM.[1] He worked his way up through the youth ranks and made his debut for the first team in a Danish Cup game against FIUK on 31 August 2021, scoring two goals in a 13-0 victory.[2][3] Later in that season, on 20 March 2022, he got his Danish Superliga debut against Brøndby IF.[4] Ross also played in 10 of the last 11 games of the season for AaB.

On 22 June 2022, Ross signed a new deal with AaB until June 2025 and was permanently promoted to the first team squad.[1] In August 2022, it was rumoured that Italian giants AC Milan had put in a bid for Ross. But AaB's price tag probably meant that the deal never came off and Ross therefore stayed at AaB.[5][6]

On July 4, 2024, AaB confirmed that they had extended their partnership with Ross until June 2027.[7]
