Club career

Falk started his career at Middelfart G&BK and moved to Odense Boldklub (OB) alongside future Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan player, Christian Eriksen in 2005.

Falk then signed a contract extension with OB, keeping him at the club until 30 June 2016.

Falk made his Copenhagen debut on 13 July 2016 and scored the final goal in the 3–0 Champions League qualification away win over Crusaders. [5] In his first season at the club, he won the double; the Danish Superliga and Danish Cup. [6]

On 5 August 2020, Falk scored the third goal in a 3–0 win over Turkish champions İstanbul Başakşehir to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. [7]

Return to Odense

On 2 July 2025, Copenhagen announced that Falk would be returning to OB, [8] signing a contract until the summer of 2028. [9]
