About

Noah Teye Nartey (born 5 October 2005) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for French Ligue 1 club Lyon.

Nartey was born in Bagsværd, Gladsaxe Municipality, a suburb to Copenhagen, and was raised in Værebroparken, a public housing project. He began playing football at a young age, often alongside his friends and his older brother, fellow professional player Nikolas Nartey. At six years old, he joined Værebro Boldklub, where his journey into organised football began. Later, at the age of 12, he entered FC Copenhagen’s academy, progressing through the various youth teams. Notably, he made a mark for the under-17 team, contributing a goal in the cup final (alongside Roony Bardghji), although they were defeated by Nordsjælland’s U17s after penalties in 2021. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in securing the under-17 league title.

In August 2021, Nartey signed with Copenhagen’s main rivals Brøndby, joining their academy at under-17 level. In November 2022, he signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him at the club until 2025.
