Career

Vallys grew up in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, supporting the local club FC Copenhagen as a youth.[1] He started playing football at BK Skjold, where he made his senior debut in 2015 in the sixth-tier Copenhagen Series.[4] He soon moved to Skovshoved IF, who competed in the third-tier 2nd Division. A midfielder, Vallys made an impact by scoring 12 goals in 30 appearances for Skovshoved, after which FC Roskilde signed him to a two-year deal in June 2018.[5] He continued impressing, this time in the second-tier 1st Division, by scoring seven goals in 29 league appearances.[6]

On 1 July 2019, Vallys signed a two-year contract with newly promoted Superliga club Silkeborg IF, continuing his rapid rise through the Danish divisions.[7] He made his debut for the club, as well as his debut in the highest Danish division, on 14 July 2019 in a 3–0 away loss to Brøndby IF, coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute for Marc Rochester Sørensen.[8] He finished his first season with Silkeborg with 34 total appearances in which he scored six goals,[6] as the club suffered relegation to the 1st Division.[9]

During the summer of 2020, he suffered an injury while training with a friend, sidelining him for 2–3 months.[10] On 1 September 2020, he signed a contract extension with Silkeborg until December 2023.[11] He returned to the pitch in October 2020, and played a key role as Silkeborg won promotion back to the Superliga in May 2021.[12]
