He played for Esbjerg fB from 2009 before signing with Ipswich Town in 2015. He is known for his long throws, and in Denmark his throws have been compared to Rory Delap.^[1]

Professional career

Esbjerg

In November 2009 he signed his first professional contract with Esbjerg,^[2] and following the winter break of the Danish Superliga, he made his professional debut in a 0–4 home loss against Randers FC, becoming the second youngest Esbjerg debutant ever second only to Andreas Sørensen who made his debut aged 16 years.^[3]

Following the departure of Kevin Conboy to NEC, Knudsen established himself as the first choice left back for the club. In the 2012–13 season, the Esbjerg team finished fourth in the Danish Superliga and won the Danish Cup, and Knudsen was given a new contract in April 2013.
