Club career

Early career

Bjur began his career at BK Avarta, having his first practice the day after turning five years old.[4] He played in Avarta for several years before moving to B.93 as an under-15 player.[1][4] He made his senior-team debut as a seventeen-year-old on 1 March 2017, coming on as a 35th-minute substitute in a 3–0 loss to Danish Superliga club F.C. Copenhagen in the Danish Cup round of 16 at Parken Stadium.[5]

Brøndby

On 1 July 2017, Bjur signed a three-year contract with Brøndby IF and joined the club on under-17 level.[6] On 15 August 2019, he made his first team debut as a 73rd-minute substitute for Simon Hedlund against Portuguese opposition Braga in Brøndby's UEFA Europa League play-offs, scoring an 85th-minute goal.[7][8] A few days later, on 18 August, Bjur made his Danish Superliga debut coming on as a second-half substitute against AaB. As the summer transfer window closed, the club stated that they did not want to loan out Bjur, despite the squad being too large.[9] On 13 December he signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with Brøndby, running until 2023.[10]

International career

Bjur has won 2 caps for Denmark at U17 and U18 level.[11]
