Jacob Barrett Laursen (born 17 November 1994) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Swedish Allsvenskan club BK Häcken.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Juventus signed Laursen in 2012 for €1 million from Aalborg BK. After spending one season in Juventus Primavera team without playing for the first team, Laursen joined Danish side OB on loan for the 2013–14 season. He made his competitive debut at 10 November 2013 in a 3–1 home defeat against FC Vestsjælland. He appeared as a 65th-minute substitute.[2]

On 3 July 2014, Laursen joined Odense Boldklub permanently, originally signing a three-year deal.[3]

During his six seasons with the club, their highest finish was fifth in 2018-19. Having finished third in the regular season, Odense fell back in the title play-offs, missing out on Europe. Laursen would not get to play European competition at all during his time there, but was selected for the Danish squad for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, losing 2–0 to Nigeria in the quarter-finals.[4]

In June 2020, it was announced Laursen would join Arminia Bielefeld, newly promoted to the Bundesliga, on a three-year contract.[5]

After two seasons Arminia were relegated, leading to Laursen moving to Ronny Deila-coached Standard Liège in Belgium on 23 July 2022 with a contract for three years with an option for a fourth year.[6] He left the club on 21 August 2023 to join Swedish side BK Häcken.[7]
