Thomas Løvenkrands (born 30 May 1974) is a Danish former professional football player. He most recently played as a winger for Danish club SønderjyskE. He is the older brother of Danish international winger Peter Løvenkrands.

Career

[edit]

Løvenkrands began his career at Akademisk Boldklub (AB) in the top-flight Danish Superliga in 1998, playing alongside his brother Peter Løvenkrands. He joined Scottish club St Johnstone in May 2000, after impressing then-manager Sandy Clark during a testimonial match for veteran Saints forward Roddy Grant. After the Perth club was relegated from the Scottish Premier League in 2002, they could no longer offer Løvenkrands a similar pay deal, leading to his departure from the club in the summer of 2003.[1]

He returned to Denmark to join Superliga club Esbjerg fB. Struggling to win a place in the starting line-up, he left the club in the summer 2006 to join league rivals SønderjyskE. In December 2007 he decided to end his career.

Later career

[edit]

Since returning from professional football, Løvenkrads played in the Danish eight division, for Esbjerg fB's second team in the Jutland Series and later also in the Danish Series 1 for Sædding/G IF, where he - among others - played for former professional Jesper Lange and his own son, Christian Løvenkrands. As of January 2021, 46-year old Løvenkrads was still active as a player for Sædding/G IF.[2]
