The midfielder was in an early age on a trial with the German 1. Bundesliga club Hamburger Sports Verein. Andrew Hjulsager said about the trial:
“It started with a camp in Flensburg, where we were several players gathered together. After this, we went to Hamburg where we played a few matches and saw how things were in the club.”

“I would never advice anyone to go abroad, because we have as good conditions here. If he has the talent as we are counting on, then he is good enough to get a breakthrough here and then the interest will still be there. He will then later have the opportunity to go abroad.”
