Career
Club
Hjansen began playing professionally in 2003, upon signing for Cherry Trees FC at the age of 22 ahead of the inaugural season of CrFA League 1. Wearing the number 3 jersey, which he wore for his entire career with the club, Hjansen formed a strong central defensive partnership with Futbólio C. Herä during his earlier years, helping the team to consecutive league titles in 2003 and 2004. Although Cherry Trees were unable to win the league the two seasons following, Hjansen played as a regular starter as they won back-to-back King's Cup finals in 2005 and 2006. As Cherry Trees regained their title in the 2007 season, Hjansen was a key member in the starting line-up and the back four conceded the fewest goals in the league. The arrival of Tellian centre-back Pasquale di Montezemolo ahead of the 2008 campaign led to rotation between Herä and the new recruit to play alongside Hjansen; a move which helped the team to a fourth league title and a third cup victory as part of a historic double.
