Club career

Although it was a big step up, Kristensen became a regular first team player from the beginning. In both the 2007–08 winter and 2008 summer transfer windows, Kristensen had been rumoured to be in the process of a deal with F.C. Copenhagen (FCK). On 2008-07-09 wrote TV 2 Sporten that Kristensen has agreed with FCK, and only the transfer fee needed to be agreed. in the beginning, FCK and Nordsjælland could not agree on a transfer fee, so it was announced that Kristensen would join F.C. Copenhagen on 2009-01-01 on a free transfer. The clubs subsequently agreed on a transfer fee the next day, and on 2008-07-15 Kristensen became a F.C. Copenhagen player.

Only two days later Kristensen played his first match for FCK. It was a UEFA Cup qualifier against Cliftonville at Mourneview Park, where he replaced William Kvist in the 69th minute. In May, 2014 Thomas Kristensen secured a 3–2 Victory against Odense Boldklub in the 86th minute. This meant that FCK finished 2nd, in the league table that season.

On 22 June 2014, it was announced that Kristensen had signed a two-year deal with Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag.

On 27 July, 2016, Kristensen was signed to A-League side Brisbane Roar.

He played the two last games of the tour against El Salvador and Honduras.

In August 2007 Kristensen again was again selected by Olsen, for an A national friendly against Ireland, though he sat on the bench the whole match in the 0–4 defeat. Half a month later he was called up again for the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Sweden and Liechtenstein. Kristensen was subsequently scratched from the team due to an injury.
