During his first season, Pedersen showed how he is able to play many positions, also on the midfield. He scored his first goal against FC Midtjylland in a 2–2 draw; his goal was later nominated to goal of the year in the Danish Superliga.[3]
On 7 August 2018, it was confirmed that Pedersen had signed a contract with the Norwegian club Lillestrøm SK.
