Career

Pallesen played as a youth player for AGF, but never broke through to the first team. He therefore moved to another Aarhus club IK Skovbakken,[2][3] where he played until Hobro IK signed him in February 2011, following his coach Jakob Michelsen.[4] Initially, he received a six-month contract with Hobro, but the agreement was soon extended by another year, which meant that it ran until June 2013.[5] Pallesen played primarily as a full-back in the defense. Half a year before his contract expired, in January 2013, Viborg FF announced that they had entered into a three-year agreement with Pallesen from 1 July 2013.[6]

After signing his three-year contract with Viborg FF in January 2013,[3] Pallesen had his first practice with the team on 24 June and was assigned jersey number 15. He made his debut for Viborg in the Danish Cup match against Jammerbugt on 28 August 2013 which ended in a 0–1 away win.[7] During his time at Viborg, Pallesen was part of the team which won the 2014–15 Danish 1st Division, achieving promotion to the Danish Superliga.[8]

On 3 July 2017, Pallesen was officially presented as a new player in AaB, who needed a new full-back after the departure of Joakim Mæhle. The club signed him on a free transfer.[9] According to Ekstra Bladet, Viborg initially rejected a bid of DKK 1.7 million from AaB,[10] after which Viborg a few days later, according to TV3 Sport, accepted a bid of DKK 2.5 million.[11] He made his official debut for AaB in the first round of the 2017–18 Danish Superliga season when he was in the starting lineup and played 90 minutes in the 1–1 away draw against Copenhagen.[12]
