Jacob Bennedsen Trenskow (born 26 November 2000) is a Danish footballer who plays as a forward for Dutch Eredivisie club Heerenveen.^[1]^[2]

Club career

Having been a youth player in Aarhus GF, Trenskow started his senior career with AC Horsens in 2020. He was first given a contract up until the winter break.^[3] After playing the 2021 season with Faroese club NSÍ Runavík, Trenskow moved back to Denmark proper and joined second-tier club HB Køge. It took a while before he established himself as a starting player.^[4] In the 2022-23 Danish 1st Division, however, Trenskow started 29 of the 30 games he played, scoring 7 goals.^[2]

In the summer of 2023, he rejected a contract offer from Køge, and joined Kalmar FF in the middle of the 2023 Allsvenskan season.^[5] Trenskow was praised for his 2024 pre-season, which included three goals in the 2023-24 Svenska Cupen.^[6] He scored his first Kalmar goal on 8 April 2024 against Sirius.^[7]^[8] Regarding the start of the 2024 season, Expressen called him "one of the few glimpses of light in a mostly pitch-black Kalmar".^[9]

On 9 August 2024, Trenskow signed a four-year contract with Heerenveen in the Netherlands.^[10]
