Michael Elvers Tørnes (born 8 January 1986 in Herlev) is a Danish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF. He has played 18 games for various Danish national youth teams.
He had his debut for Brøndby IFs best team in the 67th minute of a 0–0 draw against Flora Tallinn in the UEFA Cup, replacing goalkeeper Casper Ankergren who was sent off. Tørnes kept a clean sheet in the 4–0 second leg win on Brøndby Stadion, which he played for the whole 90 minutes.[3]
In the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Brøndby's first keeper Stephan Andersen, was long-term injured, resulting in Tørnes temporarily taking over his position.[4][5][6]
