Alexander Scholz

Scholz started his career with Hedensted IF, before being scouted by Vejle Boldklub. He later moved to Stjarnan in Iceland. In 2012, Belgian team Lokeren started scouting him following a tip from their former player Arnar Grétarsson, who had seen Scholz play in Iceland. Based on these scouting reports, Lokeren signed Scholz in December 2012, giving him a contract until 2015. Just a few days later on 19 January 2013, he made his debut in the Belgian top league in a 2–6 won away match against OH Leuven. He scored the winning goal in a 1–0 win for Lokeren in the final of the 2014 Belgian Cup Final. Scholz signed a five-year contract with FC Midtjylland in August 2018. On 1 December 2020, Scholz scored a goal for FC Midtjylland in a UEFA Champions League group stage match against Atalanta; the final score was 1–1. On 31 May 2021, it was announced that Scholz had signed a contract with J1 League club Urawa Red Diamonds. There, he would join his compatriot Kasper Junker, who had signed with the Japanese club a month prior. He left the club at the end of June 2024. Prior to his departure, both he and Hiroki Sakai were given a farewell sendoff following the club’s matches against Júbilo Iwata on 30 June 2024.

In November 2020, he was called up to Kasper Hjulmand's senior squad for the friendly against Sweden due to several cancellations from, among others, the Danish national team players playing in England, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, as well as a case of COVID-19 in the squad, which had put several national team players in quarantine.
