Career

Career start

Vinzents started playing football at Ringsted IF . From there he moved to the youth team at Køge BK , where he was responsible for the Dansk Boldspil Union , which appointed him to the association's junior national teams. On April 14, 1992, he made his debut as part of a youth tournament in Graz , when he ran alongside the later professional players Jon Dahl Tomasson , Allan Kierstein Jepsen and David Nielsen , in the 6-0 success over the Austrian youth national team in the national jersey.

Vinzents later moved to the youth department of Lyngby FC . In November 1994 he made his debut in the Superliga for the club when he was in the starting line-up in the 2-0 win over Ikast FS . Then he returned on February 22, 1995 in a 6-5 win against the English youth team back in the association teams and ran for the first time in the U-19 national team. He was initially unable to stay in the team, but returned to the selection jersey in the fall. After Vinzents was not used in the first half of the season 1995/96 , he moved to the second division Køge BK . At the same time, he stayed in the squad of the Danish U-21 team , but was only used irregularly.

In the super league

In 1998 Vinzents returned to Lyngby FC in the first division and made the leap into the regular formation from November. At the side of Martin Birn , Rasmus Marvits and Morten Petersen , he reached fourth place in the table with the team in his first year after returning. In the following years, however, he slipped with the club from and in the course of the 2001/02 season , the club had to file for bankruptcy.

After Vinzents was no longer accrued after the bankruptcy petition for the club, which has now been renamed Lyngby BK, he moved to Farum BK in the summer together with Birn within the Super League . There the two played alongside Jacob Gregersen , Martin Borre and David Rasmussen for the qualification for the UEFA Cup , which was reached third behind the champions FC Copenhagen and Brøndby IF . At the end of the season, the club joined forces with other clubs to create FC Nordsjælland . Here, too, Vinzents belonged to the permanent staff, but retired with the club in the first round of the 2003/04 UEFA Cup after two defeats against Panionios Athens . During the season he played in the squad of an unofficial national selection, which was composed of Superliga players, and ran in January 2004 in two international matches against a US selection and a game against CD Águila .

In the summer of 2004, Vinzents moved to league rivals Odense BK on a free transfer . In the 2004/05 season he was one of the club's long-running hits and played in all 33 games of the season. With the coached by the coaching duo Troels Bech and Klavs Rasmussen team and players like Steffen Højer , Mwape Miti and Søren Berg , he reached sixth place in the table. In the following year he was a regular player until the winter break and played all 20 league games.

Change to Sweden

On January 31, 2006, Vinzents, whose contract with Odense BK would have expired in the summer of that year, moved to the traditional Swedish club Malmö FF . In the team around Jari Litmanen , Niklas Skoog , Jon Inge Høiland and Yksel Osmanovski , he immediately established himself as a regular and did not miss a minute in the 2006 season . In the following years he was one of the regularly used players and hardly missed a league appearance. Therefore, the club management decided in August 2008 to a new contract offer that the defender accepted and tied to the club until 2011. On August 31, 2009, he played his 100th league game for the club in a 0-0 draw against Helsingborgs IF . He had occupied a midfield position in the Allsvenskan at the side of Edward Ofere , Wilton Figueiredo and Daniel Larsson at the end of the 2009 season , the team settled in the top group in the following season. In the duel with Helsingborgs IF that lasted until the last day of the match, the club finally prevailed, so that Vinzents won the Lennart Johansson Cup, the first title of his career. In the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League he reached the last play-off round with the team, but missed the group stage against Dinamo Zagreb . In the UEFA Europa League 2011/12 he failed with the club early and missed at the end of the 2011 season as fourth in the table to return to the European Cup. Nevertheless, the club used a clause in the contract in the summer and extended it for another year.

After the end of the 2012 season, Vinzents ended his professional career and returned to Denmark. There he played against the ball for his home club Ringsted IF for three years before joining the FC Græsrødderne project in 2016 . At the amateur club run by former professionals, he ran alongside Jesper Grønkjær , Carsten Fredgaard , Dennis Cagara , Patrik Wozniacki , Mads Laudrup , Morten Karlsen and Poul Hübertz, among others .
