Club career
Born in Odense, Hyllegaard started his senior career at SfB-Oure FA in the Denmark Series, the fifth tier of the Danish football league system, where he developed into a prolific goalscorer. In the 2017–18 season, he scored 23 goals as he led the league in scoring.[3]
On 28 December 2019, Odense Boldklub (OB) signed Hyllegaard to a three-year contract.[4] He made his debut as a 64th-minute substitute against Brøndby IF on 16 January 2020.[5]
On 2 June 2022 it was confirmed, that Hyllegaard had signed a deal until June 2025 with newly relegated Danish 1st Division team SønderjyskE.[6] In December 2023, to get more minutes in the legs, Hyllegaard - together with his teammate, Mads Hansen - joined Middelfart Boldklub on loan until the end of the season.[7]
However, on February 4, 2025, Sønderjyske confirmed that they had terminated Hyllegaard's contract.[8] This was in the wake of Hyllegaard having trained with Faroese club HB Torshavn during January.[9]
On February 15, 2025 it was confirmed that Hyllegaard moved to Faroese club 07 Vestur.[10]
