Club Career

An ankle injury kept Sorensen sidelined for most of the 2014–15 season, only making his return in the 30th round of competition for FC Liefering.

Sorensen made 41 total appearances for Liefering, scoring one goal, while making three total appearances for FC Red Bull Salzburg.

In July 2017, Red Bull Salzburg loaned Sorensen to 2. Bundesliga club Jahn Regensburg on a two-year loan deal. He made 52 total appearances for Jahn Regensburg during his tenure there.

Sorensen did not return to Salzburg ahead of the 2019–20 season, instead signing a two-year contract with recently relegated 1. FC Nurnberg in the 2. Bundesliga. On 27 July 2019, he made his debut for the club in league match against Dynamo Dresden away at Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion, which ended in a 1–0 win for Nurnberg.
