Club Career

Early career

Born in Tuse outside Holbak, Frendrup started playing for local team Tuse IF, before moving to Holbak B&I. He was only at Holbak for one year, because he had joined the Brondby IF academy at under-14 level, which meant that he played for two clubs for a short period. During this time, he commuted several times a week between his home in Tuse and Brondby, a distance of approximately 60 kilometres. When Frendrup finished primary education, he began attending Brondby Idratsefterskole, a five minute walk from the Brondby IF training ground.

He won the Danish under-15 Cup on 11 May 2016 in a 1–0 win over FC Nordsjalland. At under-17 level, he captained the team to a second-place finish in the league behind winners AGF.

Brondby

In the summer of 2017, aged 16, Frendrup was included in the first-team training camp in Austria together with fellow academy players Christian Enemark and Andreas Bruus. In December 2017, he signed a new deal with Brondby, keeping him in the club until the summer of 2020.

On 11 February 2018, Frendrup made his senior debut, aged 16, in a 3–1 win over Lyngby Boldklub in the Danish Superliga. He was brought on as a substitute in the 85th minute, becoming the youngest player to appear for Brondby, 37 days younger than second on the list, Magnus Warming. On 15 March 2018, Frendrup signed his first professional contract, keeping him at the club until 2021.

During the 2019–20 season, Frendrup started playing more regularly in the fall due to long-term injuries to starters Lasse Vigen, Simon Tibbling and Josip Radosevic.
