Anders Christian Thomsen (born 29 July 1995) is a retired Danish footballer who played as a midfielder and current assistant coach of OKS.

Youth career

[edit]

Thomsen started playing football at Fjordager IF, before moving to FC Fyn where he already at the age of 16, was playing on the under-19 team. Thomsen played several games for the youth national teams of Denmark at a young age, and was in April 2010 (at the age of 15) tested by Blackburn Rovers together with two other youth players from FC Fyn.[1]

Thomsen joined OB at the age of 16 from FC Fyn, and started playing with the under-19 squad.[2]

Club career

[edit]

OB

[edit]

At the age of 19, Thomsen got promoted to Odense Boldklub's first team squad in March 2014 and also signed a full time contract senior contract with OB.

Thomsen got his debut for OB on 18 May 2014.[3] Thomsen started on the bench, but replaced Martin Spelmann in the 92nd minute in a 2—3 defeat against FC Copenhagen in the Danish Superliga.

Thomsen signed a new one-year contract with OB on 6 June 2015.[4]

Later career

[edit]

On 22 June 2016, it was announced, that Thomsen had signed a contract with Danish 2nd Division team, Middelfart G&BK.[5]

Thomsen joined BK Marienlyst in the start of 2017. He signed a contract with the club on 20 December 2016.[6] He played his first league match for the club on 18 March 2017 against Brabrand IF.[7]

Thomsen signed for B.93 in the Danish 2nd Division on 21 June 2018, but was released after five league games on 13 September 2018.[8] The reason behind the release was, that Thomsen wanted to focus on his career as a banker.[9]

Retirement

[edit]

After a short spell with Skovshoved IF in the beginning of 2019, Thomsen had an accident that put an end to his career.[10] During a concert in the summer of 2019, Thomsen sat on the shoulders of a friend, then fell and hit his head on the ground. The fall resulted in a severe concussion, which left him unable to play football due to severe after-effects and pain, why he decided to retire at the age of 24.[11]

On 14 January 2022, 26-year old Thomsen was appointed assistant coach of Odense Kammeraternes Sportsklub, commonly known as OKS.[12]
