In 2003 he joined AaB Håndbold, where he was until 2010. In his last season at AaB he won both the Danish Cup and League. The following season he signed for Flensburg-Handewitt who were looking to replace Johan Sjöstrand who had transferred to FC Barcelona Handbol. AaB agreed to the transfer, even though Rasmussen had another year left of his contract.[1] Here he won silver medals in the German Bundesliga twice in 2012 and 2013 and silver medals in the DHB-Pokal four times.

He returned to Danish handball to join Bjerringbro-Silkeborg in 2014, where he won the Danish league for the second time in 2016.

National team

Rasmussen made his debut on the national team in 2000, but it was not until the 2011 World Men's Handball Championship in Sweden, that he played at a major international tournament. The retirement of first choice keeper Kasper Hvidt opened the door for Rasmussens spot.In 2011 he won a silver medal with the Danish national team.
