Lukas Bornhøft Jensen (born 18 March 1999) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Carlisle United, on loan from Burnley.

Early life[]

Between the ages of 14 and 17 Jensen quit football and instead spent three years riding mountain bikes, taking part in the European Mountain Bike Championships and Scandinavian Mountain Bike Championships.[4]

Career[]

In September 2019 he signed for Burnley following a successful trial. A broken elbow and international clearance delayed his Clarets debut for the under-23 side.[5] He was rewarded with a new contract in January 2020 until the summer of 2021 with the option of a further year, after a string of impressive performances for the under-23 side.[6] He made the bench for the first team on three occasions in June 2020 following the COVID-19 lockdown restart, after it was announced Joe Hart would be leaving the club on a free transfer.[7]

On 1 February 2021, Jensen joined League Two side Bolton Wanderers on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.[8] He played no matches, spending the entire time as second choice behind Matt Gilks. Though he played no matches, he still considered the loan a success as he was able to experience being part of a promotion winning team.[9]

On 14 May 2021, he joined Kórdrengir on loan for two months.[10] He played seven times during this loan spell.

Jensen joined Carlisle United on season-long loan on 20 July 2021.[11]
