Julius Lorents Nielsen (born 26 April 2006) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish Superliga club Silkeborg.

Career

Club career

Lorents grew up in Resenbro, a suburb of Silkeborg, and started his football career in the local club Resenbro UIF. At the age of nine, he moved to Silkeborg IF, and in April 2022, sixteen-year-old Nielsen signed a trainee contract with the club.

In February 2024, Lorents joined the first team squad for a training camp in Portugal. In April, he was called up for the first time for the squad for a Danish Superliga match against Nordsjælland, but was an unused substitute. A month later, on 16 May, Lorents signed a new contract until June 2029, where he would become a full-time professional in the summer of 2025 and be promoted to the first team squad.

On 28 July 2024, in the second round of the 2024–25 Danish Superliga, Lorents made his official debut for Silkeborg when he replaced Tonni Adamsen after 69 minutes of play.

On 26 April 2026, he scored his first senior goal for the club in a 2–0 victory over Randers in the 2025–26 Danish Superliga relegation round.
