Born on January 17, 1979, Asbjørn Sennels made his breakthrough with Danish Superliga club Viborg in the 1999-2000 Superliga season, making his professional debut on Mat 21, 2000 as a starter in a convincing 7-2 victory against AaB.
He made 108 league appearances for Viborg during his five years at the club. In February 2004, he was signed by league rivals Brondby. Their manager, Michael Laudrup, brought in Sennels to fill the left-back position previously held by Aurelijus Skarbalius.

Sennels made his debut for Brondby in the UEFA Cup matches against Barcelona in 2004. Initially, he struggled to perform well in his first appearances for Brondby, partly because he was replacing fan-favorite Skarbalius.
He went on to appear in all 33 matches for Brondby in the 2004-2005 season, during which the club secured both leagues. During his international career, he played for Denmark U21, Denmark League XI, and Denmark’s senior team.
