Club career
Sørensen started his senior career with Aalborg BK in the top-flight Danish Superliga championship.

He played 13 league games for the club,[1] but could not prevent SønderjyskE from being relegated at the end of the season.
In the summer 2006, Sørensen moved abroad to play for Odd Grenland in the Norwegian Premier League, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract.[2] He and Odd Grenland was relegated to the secondary Norwegian First Division in 2008, but Sørensen stayed at the club and helped Odd Grenland win promotion for the Premier League by winning the 2008 First Division season. In December 2009, after finishing fourth with Odd Grenland in the 2009 Premier League season, Sørensen moved to league rival Haugesund FK,[2] where he joined fellow Dane Allan Olesen.
