Mathias Jattah-Njie Jørgensen (Danish pronunciation: [mæˈtsʰiˀæs ˈjɶɐ̯ˀn̩sn̩]; born 23 April 1990), commonly known by his mononymous nickname Zanka (Danish pronunciation: [ˈsɑŋkʰæ]), is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or right-back for Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy.
Jørgensen began his career at boyhood club FC Copenhagen, playing regularly in five Superliga seasons, before a move to PSV Eindhoven in 2012, where he spent two seasons in the Eredivisie before returning to Denmark after finding his chances limited. He joined Premier League club Huddersfield Town in July 2017 for a fee of £3.5 million, where he played until their relegation in 2019. Afterwards, he played for Fenerbahçe, before returning to the Premier League in 2021 where he signed with Brentford.
Formerly an international at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-21 level, Jørgensen made his senior international debut for Denmark aged 18 in November 2008.
