Career
editBorn and raised in Lynge, Olsen played for several North Zealand clubs in his youth; Allerød FK, Lyngby Boldklub and Farum BK in two rounds.[2]
After playing a bit for Farum BK, FC Nordsjælland's reserve team, Olsen moved ahead of the 2020–21 season to Hillerød Fodbold, who played in the Danish 2nd Division. Here he never made the breakthrough to divisional football, but managed to make his official debut for the club in a cup match against Vanløse IF in September 2020, where Olsen also got on the scoreboard.[3] Olsen spent the rest of his time at the club on Hillerød's reserve team.
Prior to the 2021–22 season, Olsen switched back to his childhood club, Allerød FK, who played in the Denmark Series Pool 1. Here Olsen had a really good season, where he scored 30 goals in all tournaments and became top scorer in the league.
Ahead of the 2022–23 season, Olsen was acquired by Danish 1st Division side Hvidovre IF, where he signed a 2-year deal.[4][5] In the 2022–23 season, Olsen played 197 minutes over 9 games, contributing to Hvidovre's promotion to the 2023-24 Danish Superliga. On 18 August 2023, Olsen made his debut in the top Danish league in a match against F.C. Copenhagen.[6] This was his only appearance for Hvidovre in the first half of the season.
In pursuit of more playing time, on 16 January 2024, Olsen was loaned out to Danish 2nd Division side HIK until the end of the season.[7] At the end of May 2024, Hvidovre confirmed that Olsen's contract with the club, which was due to expire on 30 June 2024, wouldn't be extended.[8] Ahead of the 2024-25 season, Olsen moved to HIK permanently.[9]
