The Clarets longest serving player agreed a two year deal in May 2008 which will keep him at Turf Moor until 2010.
Brian for the first half of the 2007/08 season was Burnley's second choice as former Hungarian international Gabor Kiraly was chosen. However after no win in seven games the former West Bromwich Albion stopper saw his name back in the starting eleven.
With a number of match winning stops, the 'Beast' remained in goal for much of 2008. A great shot-stopper, the Burnley fans will be hoping Jensen will continue to be an asset to Owen Coyle's squad in the 2008/09 season.
The Dane started and ended the 2006/07 season as first choice keeper, although it was not without its problems.
After a string of superb appearances, Jensen found himself pushed down the pecking order following no win in seven games.
Wigan goalkeeper Mike Pollitt arrived on loan for a month and when he returned to the JJB Clarets rival Danny Coyne snatched the gloves ahead of the Dane.
Brian soon went on the transfer list at his own request, finally asking to be taken off after the January transfer window closed and regaining his place in the side in the run-in.
Brian initially joined the Clarets in the summer of 2003, after he was released by West Bromwich Albion.
After initially signing a two-year contract, the Danish stopper extended his stay by penning a new three-year deal at the end of the 2004/05 campaign.
Jensen enjoyed a decent spell in the team during that season, after starting out as Steve Cotterill's second choice behind Coyne.
When Coyne picked up a bad injury in October though, Brian was thrust back into the team and quickly established his credentials.
Despite Coyne's return to fitness in early 2005, Jensen retained his place in the first team with more impressive performances and it was only at the end of the season when Cotterill alternated goalkeepers for the last few matches that he missed out.
Jensen first arrived in English football back in 2000, when Albion paid a fee of £100,000 to Dutch club AZ Alkmaar for him following an impressive trial.
He made 50 appearances for Albion, but when Gary Megson took over at The Hawthorns, first team chances were few and far between.
He remained a popular player with the fans though and they nicknamed him 'The Beast' due to his giant frame - a nickname that has been adopted at Turf Moor.
