Club Career

Early career

Born in Sanderum, a suburb of Odense, Thomas started playing football in the youth of Sanderum Boldklub before moving to the Odense Boldklub (OB) youth academy at age 11.

OB

On 24 April 2015, Thomasen made his debut for OB in a 2–0 win over Esbjerg fB in the Danish Superliga. Surprisingly he was in the starting lineup and was not even a part of the first team squad yet. He played the first 62 minutes before being replaced by Mathias Greve.

In the summer of 2015, at the age of 19, Thomasen was moved permanently to the first team squad.

On 1 November 2015, Thomasen signed a contract extension until 2019. Thomasen was named as the "Revelation of the Year" in OB for 2016. His contract was extended another two-and-a-half years in January 2018.
