	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Markus Rosenberg, born on September 27, 1982 in Malmö, is a Swedish footballer. As of June 2007, Rosenberg, who is nicknamed Sillen, has played fifteen games and scored five times for the Swedish national team.

Rosenberg started his playing career at Malmö FF, but struggled to become a first-team regular and as a result joined Halmstads BK on loan in 2004. Playing at Halmstad he became the top goalscorer of the 2004 season. Back in Malmö, he also topped the Royal League 2004-05 scoring list.

Rosenberg joined Ajax Amsterdam at the start of the 2005/06 season for a fee of € 5,300,000. He later played as a left winger in the 4-3-3 system. Playing in this line-up, his team Ajax were able to reach the newly born Eredivisie play-offs a being ranked 5th in the regular competition, beating Feyenoord Rotterdam and FC Groningen to claim a spot in the UEFA Champions League preliminaries for the following season. Ajax also won the KNVB Cup in that season.

In 2007, Rosenberg moved to German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen playing his first game two days later against Hannover 96. He scored his first goal for Werder Bremen against FC Bayern Munich, in a 1:1 draw.

Because of his aerial ability and his strength Markus Rosenberg is considered a dangerous header of the ball, but he is also dangerous when having the ball at his feet.
