In August 2012, she joined Linderud-Grei in the Norwegian First Division.[3] Jensen made 10 appearances for the club and scored 11 goals.

At the age of 19, Jensen signed a three-year contract with German club VfL Wolfsburg for the 2015–16 season of the Frauen-Bundesliga.[6] Coach Ralf Kellermann praised her "enormous potential to develop further."[7] On 29 August 2015 she made her competitive debut for Wolfsburg and scored a brace against Jena during the club's season opener, resulting in an 8–0 win.[8][9]

In June 2016, Wolfsburg sent Jensen on loan to Stabæk for one year, to aid her development with regular first team football.[10] At the end of the season she was allowed to return to Stabæk on a permanent basis, as part of Wolfsburg's transfer deal for Marie Dølvik Markussen.[11]
