Nordsjælland

Tranberg was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was promoted into the first team squad in the summer 2016 at the age of 19.[1] He made his Nordsjælland debut on 7 August 2016, coming off the bench in the 62nd minute for Abdul Mumin in a 2–1 defeat against AaB in the Danish Superliga.[2]

Tranberg became a regular starter in the 2017–18 season, but was benched in October 2017.[3]

Loan to Örebro SK

On 7 August 2018, Örebro SK announced the signing of Tranberg on a loan deal for the rest of the year.[4] He returned to Nordsjælland after making 13 appearances. In December, Tranberg announced, that he would like to continue at the club, but it was up to the clubs to make an agreement.[5]

Esbjerg fB

On 16 July 2019, it was confirmed that Tranberg had joined Esbjerg fB on a four-year contract.[6] In the first half of the season, Tranberg played only four games for the club, a total of 24 minutes in the league and 180 minutes in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers.[7] At the end of the season, Esbjerg suffered relegation to the second-tier 1st Division.[8]

Following relegation, Tranberg began playing more regularly, making 22 appearances for the club during the 2020–21 season.[9]

On 22 November 2022, 25-year old Tranberg confirmed that he had been forced to retire with immediate effect due to an injury.[10]
