Signed by Tromsø IL as a replacement for Patrice Bernier in central midfield, Høgli impressed in the right-back position.
He was named Tromsø player of the year for the season of 2008 by the supporters and earned the nickname "Super Tom", a nickname he got while playing in Bodø/Glimt.

He made his debut in the Danish Superliga on 20 July 2014 in a match against Silkeborg IF
International career
Høgli was capped for the Norwegian under-21 national team[3] and was joint top scorer at the 2006 VIVA World Cup for Sápmi.
On 20 August 2008, Høgli made his debut for Norway in a friendly match against Ireland. He was picked by national coach Egil "Drillo" Olsen for the team versus Germany in autumn 2009.
Høgli received the Gold Watch after his 25th cap, in the friendly against England national football team on 26 May 2012, but he had to leave the pitch after 37-minute due to a tackle from Steven Gerrard. According to Norway's medic, Thor Einar Anderssen, this was a tackle that could have ended Høgli's career.[4]
