Højer is a product of F.C. Copenhagen, where he played throughout his youth. Here he worked his way up through the club's academy. In January 2024, Højer extended his contract with Copenhagen.[1]
On 5 May 2024, 17-year-old Højer was on the bench for Copenhagen's first team for the first time in a Danish Superliga match against Silkeborg IF.[2][3] In July 2024, Højer, along with teammate Amin Chiakha, was permanently promoted to the first team squad after attending a training camp with the team in Austria.[4]
He made his Copenhagen debut on 25 July 2024, substituting for Magnus Mattsson in a UEFA Conference League qualifier against FC Bruno Magpies.[5][6] In the return match on 1 August 2024, he made his debut at Parken Stadium, again substituting for Mattsson and scoring his first goal for the club.[7][8]
On 11 August 2024, Højer made his Danish Superliga debut in a match against Sønderjyske.[9]
On 2 February 2025, Copenhagen announced that Højer had been injured and was facing surgery.[10] He returned to action until January 2026, when he made his comeback in a friendly match, in which he also scored.[11]
