Career
Viborg
Bech started playing football at the age of four and played for a few clubs, before joining Viborg FF as a youth player. In August 2015, he scored a hattrick at the age of 15 for the U17s.[4] Later in October, he signed a contract until June 2021 with the club.[5][6] Bech's Danish 1st Division debut on 11 March 2018 made him the youngest player ever to play in the league. Bech was 16 years and 20 days old on his debut.[7] Bech was also the youngest player ever to debut for Viborg FF, taking over the record from his cousin, Oliver Haurits.[8]
Ingolstadt 04
After failing to agree on a contract extension with Viborg, it was confirmed on 5 August 2022 that Bech had been sold to German 3. Liga club FC Ingolstadt 04, signing a contract until June 2025.[9]
AGF
After one season in Germany, Bech returned to Denmark, signing a five-year deal on 26 June 2023, with AGF.[10] He scored on his debut for the club, securing a 1–0 victory against rivals Vejle on the first matchday of the season.[11][12]
Personal life
Bech was diagnosed with ADHD, which prevented him from playing with the Danish youth national teams.[1][13]
