AC Horsens

Agesen suffered from jumpers knee in his first season at the club, and played in fewer games. He was out with jumpers knees for about 1 year,[7] but returned to the pitch after a saline injection in February 2012. In August of the same year, he suffered from a pulled muscle injury. This time, he was only out for 6 weeks.[8] In March 2013, he broke his jaw and was out for three weeks.[9] Due to his many injuries, he did not play in many games with the club and left in the summer of 2013.
