Jonas Søndberg Thorsen (born 19 April 1990) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Danish 2nd Division club Aarhus Fremad.

Club career

AGF

In 2008, he was on trial with Austrian powerhouse Red Bull Salzburg, where the later head-coach of Viborg FF, Lars Søndergaard, was leading the club's talents.[1] Thorsen signed with Viborg FF in August 2009 after spending a season partly with AGF reserves, and since January 2009 on a professional contract.

Viborg FF

At the age of 19, Thorsen signed with Viborg FF on 31 August 2009.[2] He left the club after eight years in the summer 2017.[3]

AC Horsens

On 21 June 2017, Thorsen signed for AC Horsens on a free transfer.[4]

In July 2019, he returned to AC Horsens after one year in Germany with Eintracht Braunschweig.[5] In late 2020, Thorsen underwent surgery for testicular cancer and was subsequently declared healthy. However, the cancer returned in July 2021,after which he started chemotherapy again.[6] For this reason, Thorsen did not play much in the 2021-22 season, just as he left the club after the season when his contract expired.[7]

Return to Viborg

On 12 July 2022, after training with the team for a couple of days, it was confirmed, that Thorsen had signed a one-year deal with his former club Viborg FF.[8]

SønderjyskE

On transfer deadline day, 31 January 2023, Thorsen joined Danish 1st Division club SønderjyskE on a deal for the rest of the season.[9] On 1 May 2024 Thorsen confirmed that he would not extend his contract at the club and would therefore leave SønderjyskE after the season.[10]

Aarhus Fremad

On 13 September 2024 it was confirmed that Thorsen had signed with Danish 2nd Division club Aarhus Fremad.[11] Already two days later, on 15 September 2024 he made his debut in a match against Thisted FC.[12]
