At the age of 19, Jensen signed a three-year contract with German club VfL Wolfsburg for the 2015–16 season of the Frauen-Bundesliga.[6] Coach Ralf Kellermann praised her "enormous potential to develop further."[7] On August 29, 2015, she made her competitive debut for Wolfsburg and scored a brace against Jena during the club's season opener, resulting in a 8–0 win.[8][9]
