Career

Carlsen made his breakthrough as part of Vorup FB who were competing in the lower tier Jutland Series, [3] before moving to newly formed Randers FC in 2003. [lower-alpha 1] He won promotion to the Danish Superliga with Randers during the 2003–04 season, [4] and made his professional debut in the top tier on 1 August 2004 starting in a 1–0 home loss to Herfølge Boldklub, before coming off in the 76th minute for Kim Østergaard Nielsen. [5] He made a total of 23 league appearances that season, [6] which saw Randers suffer relegation to the 1st Division after finishing bottom of the league. [7]

After relegation, Carlsen was often injured and moved down the depth chart as Peter Christiansen was preferred at left-back by head coach Lars Olsen. [8] On 25 September 2006, it was announced that Carlsen would move to Icelandic club Valur as his contract expired on 1 January 2007. [9] [10] He made his European debut for Valur as they lost 2–0 to Cork City on 23 June 2007 in the UEFA Intertoto Cup first round. [11] The following season he also made his first UEFA Champions League appearance in a 2–0 first-round away loss to BATE Borisov on 25 July 2008. [12]

Carlsen returned to Denmark in January 2009, signing with Danish 1st Division club Fredericia after a successful trial. [13] He retired in 2010, where he began coaching ninth tier club TMG from Mårslet. [14]

Style of play

Carlsen was described by former Randers FC's teammate Christian Kemph as "aggressive" and "not afraid of going forward". [8] Despite lacking top-level speed, he compensated with good positioning and a fine skillset which made him a strong crosser of the ball. [8]

After football

After his retirement from football, Carlsen coached at lower level and played amateur football while residing in Aarhus. [8] He finished his training as a carpenter in the summer of 2013. [8]
