Laurits Raun Pedersen (born 25 January 2006) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish Superliga club Randers FC.
Randers
Born and raised in Over Hornbæk, a district of Randers, Pedersen started his career in the local club Hornbæk SF before later joining Randers FC.[2] Here he worked his way up through the club's youth academy, all the way to the first team. On his 15th birthday, he also signed his first youth contract.[3][4][5]
On April 15, 2023, Randers confirmed that Pedersen was permanently promoted to the first team squad from the 2023-24 season.[6][7] Just two days later, he made his first appearance on the bench for Randers in a Danish Superliga match against FC Nordsjælland.[8] In the 2023-24 season, Pedersen continued to play primarily for the club's U19 team, while also sitting on the bench in a few first team matches.
Laurits made his official Randers FC debut in a home match against Sønderjyske in the Danish Superliga on August 18, 2024.[9][10] After six more appearances after his debut, it was confirmed in December 2024 that Pedersen had signed a contract extension until the end of 2027.[11]
