Born in Kerteminde on the island of Funen, Christensen played in the youth department of his local club, Kerteminde Boldklub, before moving to Odense Boldklub (OB) at under-12 level. There, he progressed through the academy, and completed a trial with Manchester United in October 2016.

In May 2017, Christensen signed a three-year professional contract with OB, and was promoted to the first team. Thus, he became a part of the club until 2020. In the first year of his contract, he still attended classes, after which he would become a full-time professional from the summer of 2018.

He made his professional debut on 22 October 2018 in a Danish Superliga match against Brondby IF. He impressed during the match, fending off a number of shots on goal from opposing players. He since became established as the starting goalkeeper for OB, gaining the nickname Gribben fra Kerteminde, meaning "the vulture from Kerteminde" due to his large wingspan.
