Prior to joining the Red Bulls, Jorgensen debuted for Odense Boldklub’s first team at age 17 and appeared in 18 matches across all competitions, scoring three goals in 572 minutes. He’d previously played in 25 matches for OB’s Under-19 side, scoring 28 times in 2,112 minutes played, and notched nine goals in nine games for the club’s reserve team.
