Jacob Tjørnelund

Jacob Tjørnelund (born 31 December 1991) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a left-back.

Career Tjørnelund progressed through the youth academy of SønderjyskE, where he made his professional debut on 16 October 2010 at age 18 in a 1–0 home win over AaB in the Danish Superliga. He came on as a substitute for Kenneth Fabricius.

Despite interest from Dutch club De Graafschap where he had been on a trial, Tjørnelund, who was a free agent after his contract expired, signed a six-month contract with Hobro IK. After a successful first term at the club, where he helped them win promotion to the Superliga for first time in club history, he signed a two-year contract extension on 1 July 2014.

As his contract expired in 2017, Tjørnelund initially chose to leave Hobro but ultimately changed his decision and signed a contract extension. After 10 years of faithful service in Hobro, Tjørnelund retired from the club at the end of 2023.
