After two years and zero goals with the first-team, Mathias Jørgensen joined Danish club Aarhus Gymnastikforening on a six-month loan deal “with a built-in purchase clause.” The move is common of organizational turnover, equal parts meek acknowledgment of bad judgment of past leaders and a quiet, desperate desire to glean some return to help build toward a hopeful tomorrow. A striker who should have been on a structured long-term development plan was acquired by a team in need of immediate production that trumpeted the acquisition as a “dynamic option.” Instead of living up to the hype and promise, he was instead mired in USL fixtures, lapped by unheralded SuperDraft picks, and kept out of the starting lineup by out-of-position midfielders.
