Graphics / Object doesn't rotate from the cente even though the origin is set correctly

Hey,
I want to make the object rotation so it's relative to the mouse position.

In constructor I set the origin to the centre of the object and set its position:

Player::Player() {
   setOrigin(width / 2, height / 2);
   pos.x = 600.f;
   pos.y = 300.f;
}

then I calculate the angle:

float Player::getAngle(sf::RenderWindow& window) {
   x = sf::Mouse::getPosition(window).x - (pos.x + width / 2);
   y = sf::Mouse::getPosition(window).y - (pos.y + height / 2);
   angle = std::atan2(y, x) * 180 / M_PI;
   printf("%f\n", angle);
   return angle;
}

and draw it. However the origin seems to be very off because it rotates around a different point.
What am I missing?
