Thomas Rasmussen (born April 16, 1977), from 1998 to 2003 known as Thomas Schultz, is a Danish professional football (soccer) player, who plays as a left wingback for Brøndby IF in the Danish Superliga. He has played two games as an attacking midfielder for the Denmark national football team.

Career

Born at Frederiksberg in Copenhagen, [ [http://www.haslund.info/danmark/as/schtho02.asp www.haslund.info - A-landsholdspillere - Thomas Rasmussen (689) ] ] Thomas Rasmussen started his career in minor Danish club Glostrup IF 32. He debuted on the Danish under-19 national team in July 1996, and moved abroad to play for K. Sint-Truidense V.V. in Belgium. He returned to Denmark to play for an amateur club in Birkerød. When he got married in 1998, Thomas Rasmussen took his wife's last name, naming himself Thomas Schultz.

In 2000, Schultz made his debut for Farum B.K. in the Danish 1st Division. He helped Farum win promotion for the top-flight Danish Superliga in 2002. During the Danish Superliga 2002-03 season, Schultz played 31 of 33 league games, scoring five league goals. He made his debut for the Danish national team in April 2003. In the summer 2003, Thomas Schultz moved to Germany, to play for Hansa Rostock in the top-flight German Bundesliga. At Rostock, he joined fellow Dane Kim Madsen. In August 2003, Schultz changed his name back to Rasmussen, at the initiative of Hansa Rostock. He had never legally changed his last name, and Rostock wanted him to use the name on his birth certificate; Thomas Rasmussen.

In his first season at Rostock, Rasmussen played 28 of 34 league games and scored three goals, helping Rostock finish in 9th place. He was called up for the Danish national team once more, and played his second national team game in April 2004. In the German Bundesliga 2004-05 season, Rasmussen played 31 league games and scored four goals, but Rostock finished in 17th place, and was relegated to the German 2nd Bundesliga. Having played two 2nd Bundesliga games for Rostock, Rasmussen returned to Denmark in August 2005, to play for defending Danish Superliga champions Brøndby IF. At Brøndby, he joined former Rostock team mate Marcus Lantz.
