He started his career with Næstved IF in 1983. He went on to play for Herfølge BK and B 1903. He moved to Brøndby IF, where he won the 1990 and 1991 Danish championships. When Jensen wasn't selected by Brøndby IF manager Morten Olsen for the 1991 UEFA Cup semi-finals against Italian club AS Roma, the disappointed Jensen moved back to Næstved IF. In 1993, he was brought to F.C. Copenhagen, Brøndby IF's local rivals. F.C. Copenhagen reached the 1995 Danish Cup final, where Jensen was named man of the match as the club won 5–0 against Akademisk Boldklub. He ended his career in 1998, after a combined 138 games and five goals for F.C. Copenhagen.
