Career

Tjørnelund progressed through the youth academy of SønderjyskE, where he made his professional debut on 16 October 2010 at age 18 in a 1–0 home win over AaB in the Danish Superliga.[3] He came on as a substitute for Kenneth Fabricius.[4] After three years as part of the SønderjyskE first team, his contract expired in December 2013.[4]

Despite interest from Dutch club De Graafschap where he had been on a trial,[5] Tjørnelund, who was a free agent after his contract expired, signed a six-month contract with Hobro IK.[6] After a successful first term at the club, where he helped them win promotion to the Superliga for first time in club history, he signed a two-year contract extension on 1 July 2014.[7]

As his contract expired in 2017, Tjørnelund initially chose to leave Hobro but ultimately changed his decision and signed a contract extension.[8] After 10 years of faithful service in Hobro, Tjørnelund retired from the club at the end of 2023.[9]
