Career

Rasmussen came up through the youth academy of Nordsjælland, before moving to Danish second-division BSV in 2013.[1]

Rasmussen signed with USL side Louisville City FC on 12 February 2015.[2] Rasmussen scored Louisville City's first ever competitive goal against Saint Louis FC in the opening game on 28 March 2015.[3] He totaled eight goals and four assists in LouCity's inaugural season.[4][5]

In June 2016, he returned to the field after seven months of recovery from hip labral tear surgery.[5] He rejoined the starting lineup in August. He made the USL Team of the Week twice with his first three goals.[6]

After spending the 2017 season with the Danish side BK Frem, Rasmussen returned to Louisville City FC for the 2018 season.[7] On 31 July 2020, Louisville and Rasmussen mutually agreed to terminate his contract, allowing Rasmussen to remain overseas during the COVID-19 pandemic, but with the option to have him return to the club for their 2021 season.[8]
