Søren Westphal (born 8 July 1986) is a Danish former handballer.
He retired in 2020 after having played for Danish Handball League side Aalborg Håndbold since 2014. He joined the club from KIF Kolding København.[1] He had previously played for league rivals club GOG Svendborg, TMS Ringsted and Nordsjælland Håndbold.[1]
During his youth career, Westphal played several matches for the Danish national youth handball teams.
In 2015 during a playoff match against Herning he had a cruciate ligament injury that kept him out for many months.[2]
In February 2017 he got his second concussion in the same season, when the Skjern Håndbold player Bjarte Myrhol hit him in the face during a match.[3] He never truly recovered from the injury, and retired in 2020 as a consequence.[4]
He has a mercantile education from Copenhagen Business School.
