Jensen started playing football at Hornum IF, a club near her home town, when she was eight. In 2002 she moved to Aars IK, which is also based in Himmerland, in 2006 she moved to B52 / Aalborg and in 2009 to the Danish champions Fortuna Hjørring . That year she was named Danish Talent of the Year. This was followed by their first Danish championship in 2009/10, which could be repeated in 2014 and 2016. She also won the trophy with Fortuna Hjørring in 2016 .

At European level, she reached the last sixteen with Fortuna in the 2009/10 UEFA Women's Champions League , where the Danes lost 1-0 and 5-0 to eventual finalists Olympique Lyon . In the 2010/11 season it was the last sixteen again. This time the German runner-up FCR 2001 Duisburg was too strong: the Danes lost both games 2: 4 and 0: 3, with Jensen only playing in the 2: 4.

A year later they were directly qualified for the sixteenth finals. Here they met the Swiss champion YB women . After a 3-0 win in Bern, they also won the home game, this time 2-1 and reached the second round. There they lost both games again, this time with 0: 1 and 2: 3 against the Swedish cup winners Kopparbergs / Göteborg FC .

In the following season it was the last sixteen against the same opponent . After a 1-1 draw at home, they lost 3-2 in Sweden.

The 2013/14 season also ended in the round of 16 for Fortuna. And again it was a Swedish team, this time Tyresö FF who lost 1: 2 and 0: 4.

The Swedish round of 16 curse continued the following season , this time they lost 2-1 and 2-0 to FC Rosengård , where u. a. the German national player Anja Mittag and the former Brazilian world footballer Marta played and each scored a goal against the Danes. After all, Jensen was able to score her first CL goal in the first game of the sixteenth-finals against Atlético Ouriense .

Even 2015/16 was back in the second round final where after a 0: 1 defeat to the Italian runner- ACF Brescia 1: 1 was not enough in the home game.

In 2016, after 239 missions for Fortuna, she moved to the NWSL at Washington Spirit . There she came in her first season to three missions and her team reached the final against Western New York Flash , in which she was not used and the team lost on penalties . In the 2017 season, she was used in nine games, Washington finished last at the end of the season and Sigvardsen's contract was not renewed. She then returned to Hjørring.

National teams

On October 24, 2006 she had her first appearance in the Danish U-17 team, with which she then finished seventh at the Nordic Cup 2007 in July . In October 2007 and March 2008, she then took part with the U-17 team in the two qualifying rounds for the U-17 European Championship 2008 , which the Danes successfully completed. In the finals she was used in the 0-1 in the semi-finals against Germany and in the 4-1 in the game for third place against England. By participating in the finals, the Danes were already qualified for the U-17 Women's World Cup in New Zealand in 2008 . There she was used in the four games that brought Denmark first group victory in the preliminary round, but then the knockout round against North Korea. The game on November 8, 2008 against North Korea was their last game for the U-17 team.

She had already played for the U-19 team for the first time in March 2008, but with her missed the qualification for the U-19 European Women's Football Championship in 2008 . She was also unable to qualify with the team for the U-19 European Championships in 2009 and 2010 . With a 1: 2 defeat against the Dutch on April 1, 2010, her time as a junior national player ended with 25 and 28 official games for the U-17 and U-19 teams, in which she did not score a goal.

Already on October 24th, 2009 she had her first appearance in the senior national team when she was substituted on for debutante Carina Johansen in the 58th minute of the World Cup qualifying game against Georgia, when the score was 11: 0 . The game ended 15-0 and has been the Danes' biggest international win since then. Ultimately, however, the World Cup qualification was unsuccessful: Although the Danes finished first in their group with 45-0 goals after the group stage, they lost their first game in Sweden 1: 2 in the first play-off round and only achieved a 2: 2 after extension. In the second round of play-offs, they were finally eliminated by a 3-1 home defeat against Switzerland, which was followed by a goalless draw in the away game. In the meantime, she had her first appearance in the starting XI on January 13, 2010 at a tournament in Chile against Japan . This was followed in 2011 by the first assignment at the Algarve Cup 2011 , which should be followed by assignments in all subsequent Algarve Cups until 2017. She scored her first international goal ever on September 21, 2011 in a 5-0 win against Armenia in qualifying for the 2013 European Championship , making it 4-0.

This was followed by two participations in the four-nation tournament in Brazil , in which the Danish women finished second. She came on for two short appearances at the European Championship finals : In the opening game against Sweden she came on for Johanna Rasmussen in the 89th minute and in the quarter-finals against France in the 74th minute for Mia Brogaard . In the again unsuccessful qualification for the 2015 World Cup , in which they went as group favorite, but ultimately behind Switzerland , which was able to qualify for the first time and Iceland only finished third, she came to five appearances. This was followed by appearances in the successful qualification for the 2017 European Championships and in June 2017 she was nominated for the 2017 European Championship finals . In the finals, she was in the starting line-up in the first five games, but had to be replaced in the semi-finals after an unfortunate collision with an Austrian and could not be used in the final, which was lost 4-2 to the Netherlands.
