Jesper Hansen (born 31 March 1985) is a Danish footballer. He plays as a goalkeeper for Lyngby BK. Hansen has amassed a total 18 youth caps for Denmark under six different age groups, he is yet to earn a senior cap.
Hansen played for Ølstykke FC during his youth career, before moving onto Farum BK in 2000.
Promoted to then, Farum BK first team in January 2003, Hansen signed his first contract extension in May 2003 after showing potential to be a promising goalkeeper.
Having yet to make his debut for the first team, Hansen went on loan to Ølstykke FC in December 2004, the team he previously played for at youth level. Hansen would extend his stay at Ølstykke for an additional 6 months, where he was first choice goalkeeper for the team, whom were struggling to avoid regulation in the Danish 1st Division. He would go on to make 37 league appearances during his year-long stay at Ølstykke.
He returned to F.C. Nordsjælland in November 2005 as backup for first team choice Kim Christensen, playing for FCN's reserve side in the Denmark Series.
August 2007, having yet to make his league debut, with 2 first team appearances in cup competitions, Hansen renewed his contract for another 4 years. Where he claimed he turned down first team opportunities from 1st Division clubs, to instead be patient and wait for his chance with FCN, whom he credited for his football education.
First choice goalkeeper and captain Kim Christensen was sold to IFK Göteborg on March 13, 2008. Theis F. Rasmussen was then brought in on a free, leaving speculation on who would be first choice to replace the departed Christensen. It was expected that Rasmussen was to be ahead of Hansen in selection, as was a common occurrence in the national youth team, though Jesper Hansen would go on to be first choice and Theis Rasmussen would fail to make a single league appearance during his two season stay with F.C. Nordsjælland.
