Club career
Falk started his career at Middelfart G&BK and moved to Odense Boldklub (OB) alongside future Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan player, Christian Eriksen in 2005.[2] In 2009 he signed for OB, where he started playing for the second team, before becoming a part of the first team squad from the 2010–11 season.[3] He made his debut for OB in 2010 against AGF. Falk then signed a contract extension with OB, keeping him at the club until 30 June 2016.
Copenhagen
On 20 January 2016, Falk signed a pre-contract with Copenhagen, as he turned down a contract extension for OB, meaning that he could move as a free agent in the summer.[4] On 1 July 2016, he officially moved to Copenhagen on a four-year contract.
Falk made his Copenhagen debut on 13 July 2016 and scored the final goal in the 3–0 Champions League qualification away win over Crusaders.[5] In his first season at the club, he won the double; the Danish Superliga and Danish Cup.[6]
On 5 August 2020, Falk scored the third goal in a 3–0 win over Turkish champions İstanbul Başakşehir to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.[7]
Return to Odense
On 2 July 2025, Copenhagen announced that Falk would be returning to OB,[8] signing a contract until the summer of 2028.[9]
International career
On 29 August 2013, Falk was called up to play for the Denmark national team.[10] He played the first half of a 2–1 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Malta on 6 September 2013.[11]
