Club career
editMagleby progressed through the Brøndby youth academy under the tutelage of Tom Køhlert,[2] and made his senior debut for the club on 3 October 1995 in a 5–1 away win over Næstved Boldklub's reserves in the Danish League Cup.[3] He was offered a four-year contract with the club in December 1996, but left for Lyngby in January 1997, as they were willing to offer him a deal which harmonised with his wish to finish his studies.[2] His stay in Lyngby was highly successful, and he claimed in an interview that Premier League club Liverpool had shown interest in him in 2000.[4]
On 27 December 2001, Magleby joined Midtjylland on a three-year deal after Lyngby's bankruptcy.[5] He made his competitive debut for the club on 10 March 2002 in a 1–0 victory against local rivals Silkeborg.[6]
Magleby signed a three-year contract with Viborg on 1 September 2003, arriving at the club alongside Stefan Bidstrup from AaB.[7]
He played a combined 162 games and scored 13 goals in the Danish Superliga from 1997 to 2005.[1]
