In February 2024, Lorents joined the first team squad for a training camp in Portugal.[5] In April, he was called up for the first time for the squad for a Danish Superliga match against Nordsjælland, but was an unused substitute.[6] A month later, on 16 May, Lorents signed a new contract until June 2029, where he would become a full-time professional in the summer of 2025 and be promoted to the first team squad.[7][8]
On 28 July 2024, in the second round of the 2024–25 Danish Superliga, Lorents made his official debut for Silkeborg when he replaced Tonni Adamsen after 69 minutes of play.[9][10]
On 26 April 2026, he scored his first senior goal for the club in a 2–0 victory over Randers in the 2025–26 Danish Superliga relegation round.[11]
