Julius Lorents Nielsen (born 26 April 2006) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish Superliga club Silkeborg.
Nielsen grew up in Resenbro, [2] a suburb of Silkeborg, and started his football career in the local club Resenbro UIF. [3] At the age of nine, he moved to Silkeborg IF, and in April 2022, sixteen-year-old Nielsen signed a trainee contract with the club. [4]
In February 2024, Nielsen joined the first team squad for a training camp in Portugal.
