Club career edit

AGF edit

In 2008, he was on trial with Austrian powerhouse Red Bull Salzburg, where the later head-coach of Viborg FF, Lars Søndergaard, was leading the club's talents.[1] Thorsen signed with Viborg FF in August 2009 after spending a season partly with AGF reserves, and since January 2009 on a professional contract.

Viborg FF edit

At the age of 19, Thorsen signed with Viborg FF on 31 August 2009.[2] He left the club after eight years in the summer 2017.[3]

AC Horsens edit

On 21 June 2017, Thorsen signed for AC Horsens on a free transfer.[4]

In July 2019, he returned to AC Horsens after one year in Germany with Eintracht Braunschweig.[5] In late 2020, Thorsen underwent surgery for testicular cancer and was subsequently declared healthy. However, the cancer returned in July 2021,after which he started chemotherapy again.[6] For this reason, Thorsen did not play much in the 2021-22 season, just as he left the club after the season when his contract expired.[7]

Return to Viborg edit

On 12 July 2022, after training with the team for a couple of days, it was confirmed, that Thorsen had signed a one-year deal with his former club Viborg FF.[8]

SønderjyskE edit

On transfer deadline day, 31 January 2023, Thorsen joined Danish 1st Division club SønderjyskE on a deal for the rest of the season.[9]
