Career

Liverpool

Hansen moved from Brøndby to Liverpool in 2006,[1][2] where he made his Liverpool Academy debut against Chelsea's academy, in a 2–0 win on 16 January 2007.[3] Hansen was the member of the Liverpool Under 18s who won the FA Youth Cup in 2007, even though he missed the second leg of the FA Youth Cup Final with a broken finger.[4]

Following this, Hansen was promoted to the reserve.[5] Hansen signed his first professional with the club in July 2007, signing a two-year deal.[6]

After spending a number of years in Liverpool's reserves, Hansen signed a one-month loan contract with Bradford City on 27 July 2011.[7][8][9] He made his senior debut on 6 August 2011.[10] On 21 August, it was announced that Hansen would return to Liverpool at the end of the month-long deal, after the two clubs failed to agree to an extension.[11] During that time he played in all 4 of Bradford City's league games.[12]

Hansen moved back to Denmark on 31 January 2012, signing for Viborg FF.[13] It took until on 5 April 2012 for Hansen to make his Viborg FF debut, in a 2–2 draw against Akademisk BK. Hansen's brilliant display in recent games led Manager Søren Frederiksen commenting on his performance that he's one of the best goalkeeper to play in the Danish 1st Division.[14] Even opposition managers praised Hansen's performance.[15] In the second half of the season, Hansen made eleven appearances for the club. His full second season at Viborg FF saw him make 32 out of 33 appearances and helping the club get promoted to the top division despite suffering a back injury in the winter.[16] It was announced in late-December 2012 that Hansen intended not to renew his contract at Viborg FF.[17]

He later explained his actions on his Twitter account.[34] On 24 April 2015, against Vitesse Arnhem, Hansen provided an assist for Michiel Kramer, which turned out to be a winning goal.[35] However, Hansen was dropped to the bench ahead of the match against Willem II after making remarks about the captain Roland Alberg.[36] Hansen made his first team return in the last game of the season against PSV Eindhoven, which they lost 3–2.[37] When the season ended, the club hoped to keep Hansen on a longer term.[38]
