Jonas Hjort Knudsen (born 16 September 1992) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL Championship club Ipswich Town. He played for Esbjerg fB from 2009 before signing with Ipswich Town in 2015. He is known for his long throws, and in Denmark his throws have been compared to Rory Delap.[3]

Professional career

Esbjerg

In November 2009 he signed his first professional contract with Esbjerg,[4] and following the winter break of the Danish Superliga, he made his professional debut in a 0–4 home loss against Randers FC, becoming the second youngest Esbjerg debutant ever second only to Andreas Sørensen who made his debut aged 16 years.[5]

Following the departure of Kevin Conboy to NEC, Knudsen established himself as the first choice left back for the club. In the 2012–13 season, the Esbjerg team finished fourth in the Danish Superliga and won the Danish Cup, and Knudsen was given a new contract in April 2013.[citation needed]

Ipswich Town

Knudsen signed for Ipswich Town on 31 July 2015 on a three-year deal.[6] Knudsen went on to make 43 appearances, scoring 1 goal during his first season at Portman Road.

In Jonas Knudsen's second season, he memorably scored in both East Anglian derbies which both finished 1-1.

On 21 December 2017, Ipswich took up the option to extend Knudsen's contract until 2019.[7]

International career

In May 2018 he was named in Denmark's preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[8]
