Club career[]

Brøndby[]

Kanstrup played for Brøndby since his youth.[1] On 5 April 2008, he made his professional debut when he came on as a substitute on for Mike Jensen in the 82nd minute in a 3–1 victory against AC Horsens. In the 2007–08 season, he made three appearances. In the 2008–09 season, he was permanently promoted to the first-team squad and played once in the Danish Superliga and in the second qualifying round for the UEFA Cup, and he also played three times in the Danish Cup.[2] On 23 August 2009, Kanstrup scored his first goal in professional football in a 6–1 win over HB Køge.

Kanstrup played for Lyngby Boldklub on a six-month loan from Brøndby during the second half of the 2010–11 season.[3] After a total of four league appearances, he returned to Brøndby.

Brønshøj and Fredericia[]

After six months in Brøndby again without an appearance, Kanstrup was loaned out again, this time to second-tier 1st Division club Brønshøj Boldklub.[4] On 20 March 2011, he made his debut for Hvepsene in a 1–1 draw against FC Fyn. On 16 April 2011, he scored his first goal for Brønshøj in a 2–0 win over Hobro IK. Kanstrup was utilised in all matches for the club. For the new season, he signed a permanent deal with the club and made 24 league appearances in the 2011–12 season, in which he scored two goals.[5] In the 2012–13 season he played three more times for Brønshøj and was even named team captain, before moving to division rivals Fredericia.[6] He came to 28 appearances in the league, in which he scored three goals. The following season, he made 17 league appearances.[2]

SønderjyskE[]

For the second half of the 2013–14 season, Kanstrup was loaned by Superliga club SønderjyskE and immediately became a regular starter in defense, making his debut in the 0–4 away win over Vestsjælland.[7][8] The deal was made permanent on 11 June 2014, as he signed a three-year contract.[9] In July 2015, he was named the new captain after Henrik Hansen and vice-captain Niels Lodberg had left the club.[10] On 2 August 2015, he scored his first goal for the club in the 3–1 defeat against Copenhagen. Kanstrup appeared in all Superliga games in 2015–16 season,[2] as SønderjyskE finished runner-up in the league and qualified for participation in the second qualifying round for the UEFA Europa League.[11] There, the club advanced after knocking out Norwegian club Strømsgodset and Polish side Zagłębie Lubin,[12] before they were eliminated in the play-off round after a late goal by Sparta Prague.[13] Kanstrup was used in all games; in the preliminary round of the Superliga and in the championship round he came to a total of 36 appearances.[2]

AGF[]

On 11 June 2017, Kanstrup moved to AGF on a two-year contract.[14] With the Aarhus-based team he quickly fought for a regular starting spot and was used in 25 games in the regular season.[2] He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–4 home loss to Nordsjælland on 27 October 2017.[15] After only six months at the club, he was named team captain after the departure of Morten "Duncan" Rasmussen, which was the "natural choice" according to head coach David Nielsen.[16] In the relegation round and in the subsequent play-offs he played in all ten games.[2]

BB Erzurumspor and Vålerenga[]

In January 2019, he left Denmark and joined the Turkish Süper Lig club Büyükşehir Belediye Erzurumspor.[17] After only half a year at club, he returned to Scandinavia to sign with Norwegian club Vålerenga on a six-month contract.[18]

Return to SønderjyskE[]

On 27 December 2019, it was announced, that Kanstrup had returned to SønderjyskE Fodbold on a three-year contract.[19] In his first season back at the club, he was part of the team winning the Danish Cup.[20] On 27 August 2021, Kanstrup was loaned out to Danish 1st Division club Fremad Amager for the rest of the season.[21] He made his debut for the club on the same day against FC Fredericia.
