Career

Randers

Pedersen started playing football for local club Hobro IK at age four,[3] progressing through various youth levels before moving to the Randers FC academy at under-15 level.[1]

Hobro

On 20 July 2016, he returned to Hobro without having made a senior appearance for Randers.[1] Pedersen made his professional debut on 31 July 2016, replacing Anders Holvad in the 59th minute of a 1–1 home draw against FC Helsingør in the Danish 1st Division.[4] The club reached promotion in his first season,[5] as Pedersen made 20 total appearances.[6]

He made his debut at the top level, the Danish Superliga, on the first matchday of the 2017–18 season, a 2–1 win over Helsingør in which he came off the bench for Danny Olsen in the 81st minute.[7]

Pedersen scored his first goal on 16 September 2018, equalizing in the Superliga match against Vendsyssel FF, which ended in a 1–1 away draw.[8]

Return to Randers

On 3 August 2022, Pedersen returned for his second stint at Randers FC, signing a three-year contract.[9]
