David Jensen
Edit ProfileCareer
He plays as a goalkeeper for F.C. Nordsjælland in the Danish Superliga. Jensen has amassed a total 27 youth caps for Denmark under five different age groups. He would later go on trial with Celtic, but decided against a move to the Scottish club stating that though moving to a large foreign club would be a dream move, moving at 16 years of age was too young and that staying at FCN would be better for his development.

David Jensen was promoted to reserve goalkeeper as backup to first choice Jesper Hansen in 2010.
On 2 August 2011, he signed a new contract with FCN, keeping him at the club until 2014.
