Biography

Søren Larsen started his professional career at Danish club Køge Boldklub in Køge, Denmark. In 2001, he was sold to multiple Danish championship winners Brøndby IF in the top-flight Danish Superliga. At Brøndby he did not enjoy much success, and only played a single game in the 2001-02 Superliga season, which Brøndby went on to win, although he became well known for his Bellyflop goal celebration, a result of which he was infamously injured. He was sent on loan to fellow Danish club BK Frem by then-Brøndby manager Michael Laudrup. In 2004, he was sold to Swedish club Djurgårdens IF, playing just two matches before being sidelined for the remainder of 2004 with a groin injury. When Djurgården won 2005 Swedish Cup and the 2005 Allsvenskan Larsen was a key player until he was sold. On 2 June 2005, Søren Larsen was handed his international debut by Denmark manager Morten Olsen, when he came on as a substitute in the 1-0 win over Finland.

After a two month-long controversy Larsen was sold to German football club FC Schalke 04 on July 31 2005, signing a four year contract.cite news|url=http://www.bolddk.com/nyt/index.php?vis=48226|publisher=bold.dk|title=Larsen fire år i 04|date=1 August 2005] At Schalke 04, he earned the nickname "Der Dänische Joker" (The Danish joker) and "Die Waffe" (The weapon), referring to his ability to come on as a substitute and score the game-tying or -winning goal. He continued his good form for the Danish national team, and sensationally scored six goals in his first five national team matches from June to September 2005. He was, however, not able to keep up the good performances due to injuries, and he later lost his place in the Schalke team. He became fed up with his role on the bench and decided to look for a new club.

On July 18, 2008 he moved to Toulouse FC as a replacement for Johan Elmander who departed for Bolton Wanderers.
