Rasmus Lauritsen

Early years

Lauritsen has both played for Herning Fremad and Brande IF as a youth player, starting as a four-year-old, before joining Midtjylland in the summer 2011. He made his senior debut for Midtjylland at age 19 on 8 November 2015 in a 5–1 Superliga home win over Esbjerg. That appearance proved to be his only first-team outing for Midtjylland, as he sought regular playing time elsewhere.

Skive

On 5 January 2016, Lauritsen signed a two-year contract with Danish 1st Division side Skive. He immediately became a starter in Skive's defence and gained his first experience of senior football. On 1 December 2016, he scored his first senior goal, equalising in Skive's 3–2 victory over Næstved. Lauritsen totalled 31 league appearances and three goals during his year with Skive, prompting interest from higher-tier clubs.

Vejle

Lauritsen signed a two-year contract with Danish 1st Division club Vejle Boldklub in June 2017, joining a team aiming for promotion. A few months later the club extended Lauritsen's contract for one more year. He quickly became an integral player at Vejle—in the 2017–18 season he scored six goals from centre-back as Vejle clinched the 1st Division championship, earning promotion to the Superliga. Lauritsen made his top-flight debut for Vejle the following season and netted his first Superliga goal in a 1–1 draw against fellow promoted side Vendsyssel in August 2018.
