Club career

Born in Sjunkeby,[1] after playing youth football for Danish club HB Køge,[3] Sørensen became Køge's youngest ever player after coming on as a late substitute against Silkeborg on 8 May 2016 at the age of 16. In the summer of 2016, following a trial period, Sørensen signed for Newcastle United.[4] In January 2019, Sørensen signed on loan for Blackpool.[5] Whilst with Blackpool he continued to also play for the Newcastle under-23 team.[6] Despite Blackpool manager Terry McPhillips suggesting he would play more games,[7] he was recalled by Newcastle in March after making just one appearance for the club.[8]

He then joined League Two side Carlisle United on 16 August 2019 on a loan deal until the end of the 2019–20 season.[9] The loan was cut short on 20 December 2019 by Newcastle.[10]

In October 2020 he moved on loan to Dutch club Almere City.[11]

He returned to Denmark in July 2021, signing for Esbjerg.[12]

International career

Sørensen has represented Denmark at under-17 and under-19 international youth levels,[3] and has also been involved with the under-21 team.[5]
