Club career

Nordsjælland

Maxsø played for FC Nordsjælland in his youth career, where he came from Brøndby IF as a U17 player.

On 9 December 2012, Maxsø made his professional debut for FC Nordsjælland, in a Superliga match against FC Copenhagen.[3] Maxsø was 1 out of 6 under-19 players who was invited to training camp in La Manga in February 2013 with the first-team squad.[4]

Maxsø signed a contract extension with Nordsjælland in the summer of 2016 and turned down a transfer offer from Danish top side FC Copenhagen, citing a desire to play abroad.[5] While at the club, Maxsø grew out to become one of the most important players in Nordsjælland. After having the role of vice-captain in the 2015–16 season, he became club captain in the 2016–17 season.

On 11 January 2017, Maxsø revealed that his intensions of leaving Nordsjælland in the summer of 2017.[6]

Years abroad

On 4 August 2017, it was announced that Maxsø was sold to Turkish club Osmanlıspor.[7] Maxsø was benched in nearly the whole second part of the season, and left the club after its relegation from the Turkish Süperlig at the end of the season.

On 29 June 2018, Maxsø signed a three-year contract with FC Zürich.[8] He made his league debut for the club on 23 September 2018 in a 1-0 home victory over FC Luzern. He played all ninety minutes of the match.[9]

On 3 July 2019 KFC Uerdingen 05 announced that they had signed Maxsø.[10] On 2 September 2019, Maxsø left the club by mutual agreement only two months after his arrival, due to personal reasons.[11]

Brøndby

Maxsø joined Brøndby IF on a four-year contract on 9 September 2019.[2][12] On 15 September, he made his Superliga-debut for Brøndby in a 4–2 home win over his former team, Nordsjælland.[13] On 25 September, Maxsø scored his first goal for Brøndby, a vital equalizer in extra time in the Danish Cup against Skive IK. The match ended in a 3–2 win for Brøndby.[14]

Throughout the fall, he established himself as a leading figure in the central defense of manager Niels Frederiksen's 3-5-2 formation and stabilising a formerly struggling defense together with fellow defenders Sigurd Rosted and Hjörtur Hermannsson.[15][16]

In late January 2020, after the departure of Kamil Wilczek, Maxsø was named club captain after having only been at the club for six months.[17]
