Career
[edit]Club career
[edit]Cornelius is a product of Randers FC, where he played in his youth years.[2] However, he was sorted out at the age of 14, and subsequently made the trip to several different clubs in East Jutland.[3] Cornelius played, among other things, for a period at Randers FC's reserve team, Randers Freja who played in the Jutland Series,[4] before he and his coach, Svenne Poulsen, moved on to Vorup FB, which played in the Denmark Series.[5]
After a strong 2023 fall, where Cornelius was the top scorer in the league with 11 goals in the Denmark Series, the striker went on a trial at Danish 1st Division club Hobro IK in January 2024.[6][7] On February 2, 2024, Hobro confirmed that Cornelius joined the club on a three-year contract.[8]
After a year in Hobro, where he scored eight goals and one assist, Cornelius made a meteoric rise when he was sold to Danish Superliga club Lyngby Boldklub on February 3, 2025, where he signed a deal until June 2028.[9][10] He made his debut for Lyngby on February 16, 2025 in a Danish Superliga match against FC Midtjylland, where he was in the starting lineup.[11]
