Petur Knudsen

On 30 June 2021, Knudsen signed a two-year deal with newly relegated Danish 1st Division club Lyngby Boldklub. He won promotion to the Danish Superliga in his first season with the club, making 26 total appearances in which he scored eight goals. Knudsen left Lyngby at the end of the 2022–23 season, as his contract wasn't renewed. After some time without a club, Knudsen was announced as a new player for USL Championship club El Paso Locomotive on a one-year deal with the option of a one-year extension. This transfer made Petur Knudsen the first ever Faroese footballer to play professionally in the United States. On 1 November 2023, it was announced that Knudsen would not be returning for the 2024 season. He returned to his first club, NSÍ Runavík, in 2024.

Knudsen made his international debut for Faroe Islands on 28 March 2021 in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Austria, which finished as a 3–1 away loss. He scored his first goal for the Faroes in a 4–1 loss to Estonia at the 2024 Baltic Cup.
