He broke through into the first team towards the end of the 2010–11 season playing 14 matches with the Gladsaxe Stadium club.

He made his Midtjylland debut on 27 July 2012 in a 2–2 draw away at AC Horsens.[5] He went and played seven matches during the 2012–13 season.[2] In 2013–14 he was used as back-up to Jonas Lössl and only made one appearance.[2] The 2014–15 season was Haugaard's break-through season at Midtjylland as he played 23 times as the Wolves won their first Danish title.[2]
