Daniel Alexander Pedersen (born 27 July 1992) is a Danish professional footballer who currently plays for Danish 2nd Division club AB.

Career

Pedersen signed his first full-time contract with Silkeborg IF just before he turned 19.[1]

Before Pedersen even had his debut, he was elected for the Danish U20 national football team and played four games before he was put on the Danish U21 national football team. Pedersen debuted for Silkeborg IF August 21, 2011, in a game against HB Køge. The week later, he was chosen to start away against the defending champions, FC Copenhagen.[2]

During his first season, Pedersen showed how he is able to play many positions, also on the midfield. He scored his first goal against FC Midtjylland in a 2–2 draw; his goal was later nominated to goal of the year in the Danish Superliga.[3]

On 7 August 2018, it was confirmed that Pedersen had signed a contract with the Norwegian club Lillestrøm SK.

Pederson joined USL Championship club Orange County SC on 3 February 2022.[4] On 6 July 2023, Pedersen returned to Denmark and joined Danish 2nd Division club AB.[5]
