Born in Aarhus, Denmark, Jønsson moved up to local team AGF's first team in summer 2011. Prior to that he was playing for the IF Lyseng. On 10 December 2012, Jønsson scored a goal for the final result of 3–3 against Silkeborg IF in the last minute of the last match of 2012 in the Danish Superliga.

At the end of the season, he celebrated the double, the third in the club's history and first since 1978.[6]

On 3 September 2023, the Danish midfielder scored his first goal in four years helping to a 3–2 away win against Volos.[7]
