Club career

Midtjylland

Born in Ikast, Hansen grew up as a fan of local club FC Midtjylland, whose academy he joined at U13-level from his childhood club Ikast FC.[1] After finishing as top goalscorer in the U19 League, he signed his first professional contract on his 18th birthday, 28 July 2020, keeping him at the club until 2025.[3] After a season in which he stood out by scoring 19 goals in 23 games with the U19s, he was named Midtjylland U19 Player of the Year.[1]

Hansen was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2021.[4] He made his professional debut under new head coach Bo Henriksen during a UEFA Champions League preliminary round 1–1 draw against Scottish club Celtic away at Celtic Park.[5] Hansen made his Danish Superliga debut a few days later in a 2–0 away win over rivals Viborg FF, coming on as a substitute for Júnior Brumado.[6] On 24 October, he scored his first goal in injury time against SønderjyskE, which proved to be the winner in a 3–2 victory.[7]

Nordsjælland

On 1 February 2022, Hansen joined FC Nordsjælland on a deal until June 2026.[8] He made his competitive debut on 20 February in a 2–0 league loss to Brøndby, starting at centre-back.[9] On 7 March, he scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 victory against AGF.[10]

International career

A youth international, Hansen made his debut for the Denmark U19 team on 3 September 2020, starting in a 2–1 win over Germany U19 at Edmund-Plambeck-Stadion in Norderstedt, Hamburg.[11]
