Career
editJensen has played his entire youth career for Herfølge Boldklub, which later became HB Køge after a merger. At an early age, Jensen was selected for Danish national youth sides, but was subsequently sorted out because of his short stature for a goalkeeper. His height has not been a problem for him since, providing high-level performances for his club.
In his first years in Køge, Jensen acted as a backup goalkeeper to first choice Lars Bjerring. He eventually became first choice in the 2010–11 season, being a part in securing promotion to the Danish Superliga.[3] In 2011, Jensen played every match for his team, being the only HB Køge player to do so.[1]
In July 2013, Jensen signed a six-month contract with Vejle Boldklub.[4] On 22 October 2013, the contract was extended to last until the end of the season 2013–14 season.[5]
On 28 July 2016, it was announced that Jensen had ended his professional career after his contract expired with Vejle Boldklub.[2]
