Career

[edit]

Nielsen began his career with KB, before joined Chelsea's academy in 2005 and became a pro in July 2007. He has made several appearances for the Danish Under 18 national football team.[1]

On 31 March 2009, whilst being tracked by many European clubs as Rennes, Saint Etienne, Brøndby and Celtic,[2] Nielsen joined Superettan team Landskrona BoIS on loan until the end of the season.[3]

On 9 July 2009, Nielsen ended his contract with Chelsea on a mutual agreement, becoming a free agent, and on 21 July 2009 joined AZ Alkmaar on a free transfer after impressing in a trial.[4] On 13 March 2010, it was announced that he would return to Landskrona BoIS on loan.[5]

In the summer of 2010, he went back to Denmark to play for FC Midtjylland.[6]

In January 2012, he went to play for Greve Fodbold in the Danish fourth tier. The club was at that time managed by his father Benny Nielsen.[7]

In January 2015, he was signed by Sligo Rovers ahead of the 2015 League of Ireland season.[8]

After leaving FC Roskilde in July 2019,[9] Nielsen joined Hvidovre IF. The club announced the signing on 25 August 2019, the same day as he got his official debut for the club.[10] He left the club by the end of the season.[11]
