Career
Club career
Nielsen grew up in Resenbro,[2] a suburb of Silkeborg, and started his football career in the local club Resenbro UIF.[3] At the age of nine, he moved to Silkeborg IF, and in April 2022, sixteen-year-old Nielsen signed a trainee contract with the club.[4]
In February 2024, Nielsen joined the first team squad for a training camp in Portugal.[5] In April, he was called up for the first time for the squad for a Danish Superliga match against Nordsjælland, but was an unused substitute.[6] A month later, on 16 May, Nielsen signed a new contract until June 2029, where he would become a full-time professional in the summer of 2025 and be promoted to the first team squad.[7][8]
On 28 July 2024, in the second round of the 2024–25 Danish Superliga, Nielsen made his official debut for Silkeborg when he replaced Tonni Adamsen after 69 minutes of play.[9][10]
