Club career

Silkeborg

Madsen joined Silkeborg at the age of 13 from his local club Gl. Rye IF, which was coached by his father.[1] He was admitted to the Talent Team of Silkeborg and after graduating from elementary school, he joined Silkeborg Football College.

In October 2016, Madsen signed his first professional contract with the club; a four-year deal. Alongside the new contract, he was promoted to the first-team squad in the summer 2017, and become a full-time professional.[2] On 10 October 2016, Madsen made his debut for Silkeborg at the age of 18.[3] Madsen started on the bench and replaced Sammy Skytte in the 87nd minut in a 1–1 draw against Lyngby. He made his first start in 0–5 defeat against AaB in the Danish Cup on 2 March 2017.[4] Madsen made three appearances during the 2017–18 season. However, he suffered relegation with Silkeborg at the end of the season after play-offs against Esbjerg fB.[5] In March 2019, he scored his first goal for Silkeborg and his first goal in the second-tier 1st Division in a 4–2 win over HB Køge.[6] In the 2018–19 season, he made 28 appearances in the 1st Division, in which he scored one goal. As winners of the second tier, Madsen and Silkeborg were able to accomplish promotion back to the Danish Superliga.[7] In February 2020, Madsen was appointed team captain of Silkeborg at the age of 22.[8]

LASK

On 29 June 2020, Austrian Bundesliga club LASK announced his signing on a four-year contract until 2024.[9][10]
