Frederik Hillersborg Sørensen (born 14 April 1992) is a Danish professional footballer. His primary position is centre back but he can also play as a right back.

Club career

Early career

Born in Copenhagen, Sørensen began playing football with hometown clubs KFUM Roskilde and FC Roskilde before joining Lyngby in 2007. After breaking into the first team, he was under contract until 2013.

Juventus

Sørensen officially signed for Juventus on 27 August 2010[3] after a trial with the Turin-based club in July of the same year.[4] After injuries to Leandro Rinaudo and Zdeněk Grygera that would rule them out for several months, Sørensen was called up to the first team for the first time against Bologna on 23 October 2010,[5] and against Milan.[6]

Bologna

On 17 January 2012, Sørensen was officially sent to Bologna in a co-ownership deal for €2.5 million (initially in a cash-plus-player deal, for Saphir Taïder).[7] Despite making just three league appearances for his new club during the remainder of the 2011–12 Serie A campaign, the young defender became an integral part of his club's first team throughout the 2012–13 Serie A season, after they had renewed the co-ownership agreement with Juventus.[8]

Return to Juventus

On 20 June 2014, Sørensen was re-signed on a permanent basis by Juventus for €800,000.[9] [10] In August 2014, Sørensen started training with English side Leeds United ahead of completing a loan move to the club, but the move collapsed after a disagreement between the player's agent and Leeds owner Massimo Cellino, resulting him in returning to Juventus.[11]

Hellas Verona (loan)

Sørensen officially signed for Hellas Verona on 29 August 2014 on a one-year loan deal for €300,000.[12] [13]

1. FC Köln

In July 2015, German Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln signed Sørensen for €1.6 million.[13] [14] He quickly established himself as a starter in the centre of Köln's defence and, in January 2017, signed a contract extension until 2021.[15] The team qualified for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League but suffered relegation just one season later.[16] On 16 January 2021, it was reported that the club had released Sørensen from his contract.[17]

Loan to BSC Young Boys

On 18 August 2019, Sørensen was loaned out to Swiss club BSC Young Boys for the 2019-20 season.[18]

Delfino Pescara 1936

Having been released by 1.FC Köln, Sørensen joined Serie B club Pescara on a free transfer.[19]

International career

Sørensen has been capped four times for the Danish U17 team, twice against Portugal,[20] [21] and twice against Greece.[22] He also played once for the U18 team in an unofficial friendly matches against Bavaria and Romania U18 as an unused substitute.[23] He was a part of the Danish squad for the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, but he only played the first match and got injured as Denmark were eliminated after the group phase.

In June 2015, Sørensen was called up to the Danish senior squad for a friendly match against Montenegro.[24] In 2017, he debuted against Germany during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification that ended in a 1–1 draw.[25]
