Mikkel Bischoff

Born in Copenhagen, Bischoff made his senior debut with Danish club Akademisk Boldklub, where he made just eleven Danish league appearances. On 15 May 2002, he moved abroad to join English club Manchester City for a fee of £750,000. He was the fourth Dane to sign for Manchester City in less than a year, with Peter Schmeichel, Niclas Jensen and Kevin Stuhr Ellegaard at City already. Signing Bischoff was part of a move to strengthen the team's prospects for the future, and he made his debut for the Danish under-21 national team upon his arrival at City. After making his one and only league appearance for City against Blackburn Rovers in September 2002, he underwent a hernia operation, and was unable to make an impression for the club. He was under the knife again in the summer of 2003 after picking up a foot injury playing for the Denmark under-21 side. Things did not get much better for Bischoff during the 2003–04 season. He returned for just one game – making an appearance in the starting lineup for the second-leg UEFA Cup win over League of Wales club The New Saints in August. Bischoff returned to the reserves. At the end of September 2004, Bischoff joined Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers on a month-long loan deal, in order to gain some valuable first team experience. After impressing in seven appearances and a goal against Nottingham Forest, he remained at Molineux as he signed a season-long loan deal with the club on the last day of the transfer window.
