[4] Despite only playing part-time, he quickly impressed for Brøndby in the top-flight Danish Superliga championship, scoring three goals in his first four league games.
He was a part of the Danish squad for the 1995 King Fahd Cup, and played a single game as Denmark won the tournament, when he replaced Mark Strudal at halftime during the 2–0 victory against Saudi Arabia.
[5] At the winter break, Hansen signed a transfer deal with Bolton Wanderers in the secondary Football League First Division, worth £1 million.
In his first year at Bolton, Hansen did not score any goals, as the club narrowly missed promotion for the top-flight FA Premier League championship.
He moved back Denmark in the summer 2002, when he joined Superliga club FC Midtjylland (FCM) as a replacement for striker Morten Skoubo.
