Mads Hansen (footballer, born 2001)

Mads Hjalmar Hansen (born 10 April 2001) is a Danish footballer who plays as a midfielder.

SønderjyskE
Hansen is a product of SønderjyskE and has played his entire youth career for the club. In the winter 2019, Hansen played several friendly games for the first team and was also training with them once in a while. On his 18th birthday, 10 April 2019, Hansen signed a five-year contract with the club. This was the first time in the club's history, that they had signed a five-year contract with a youth player.

He got his official debut for the club on 5 September 2019 in a 5-0 Danish Cup victory against BK Viktoria. Hansen played the whole game and was also noticed for an assist. His debut in the Danish Superliga came on 6 October 2019 against Esbjerg fB. Hansen came on the pitch with a few minutes left with shirt number 23, replacing Johan Absalonsen in a 2-1 victory.

On 1 February 2022, Hansen was loaned out to Danish 2nd Division club Kolding IF for the rest of the season, to gain some experience. In the 2022-23 season, when Hansen was back at SønderjyskE, he spent much of the season in the stands as the young Dane was out with injury. In late December 2023 SønderjyskE confirmed that Hansen was loaned out to Middelfart Boldklub in the Danish 2nd Division until the end of the season, when Hansen's contract with SønderjyskE also expired.

On May 30, 2024, SønderjyskE confirmed that Hansen would leave the club when his contract expired. Hansen managed to represent SønderjyskE 22 times in all competitions.
