Career

Nielsen came through the ranks of second division side Næstved BK and made his first-team debut in 2005.[2] On 4 July 2011, he signed a three-year contract with rivals FC Vestsjælland.[1] Two years later, Nielsen and Vestsjælland reached promotion to the Danish Superliga and he made his debut in the highest tier on 21 July 2013 in a 1–1 draw away against Brøndby IF.[3] During the season, Nielsen formed a partnership in central defense with Jean-Claude Bozga, and the duo allowed the fewest goals on headers of all Superliga-clubs early on in the season.[4]

His performances during the 2013–14 season attracted interest from various Superliga-clubs and on 14 June 2014, Nielsen signed a two-year contract on a free transfer with OB.[5] His first season at OB resulted in 32 appearances in which he scored two goals. OB, however, struggled, and the club ended on a disappointing ninth place in the league table. He saw less playing time the following season, making 21 appearances and scoring no goals.[6]

On 18 May 2016, with Nielsen's contract expiring in OB, he was signed by Polish Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań on a three-year deal.[7] On 7 July 2016, Nielsen won the Polish SuperCup in a 4–1 win over Legia Warsaw, making his first start and scoring his first goal for the club.[8][9] He made seven starts in his first 15 league games in Poland, and called the level on which he played a clear "step up" compared to the Danish Superliga.[10]

On 23 January 2018, Nielsen signed a three-year contract with Swedish Allsvenskan side Trelleborg,[11] and transferred back to Denmark a year later, signing with Lyngby BK on 30 January 2019.[12]

Nielsen returned to his first senior club, Næstved Boldklub, on 9 August 2020.[13] He was assigned a leading role in the club, which had recently suffered relegation to the Danish 2nd Division.[14]
