Club career
editRanders FC
editIn December 2017, Høgh signed a new contract with Randers FC, extending his contract until 2020.[2] Høgh's first experience on the first team squad was on 4 April 2018, when he was selected to the squad against Silkeborg IF in the Danish Cup.[3]
Høgh got his debut for Randers FC on 15 April 2018. He started on the bench, but replaced Mikael Boman in the 80th minute in a 3–0 defeat against OB in the Danish Superliga.[4] He played one more game for the first team squad in that season. Høgh had scored impressive 23 goals in 21 games for the U19 squad in that season.
He continued in the 2018–19 season to impress, scoring 14 goals in 9 games for the U19 squad in the first half year. Høgh became more and more involved in the first team squad, playing two games coming in as a substitute and sitting on the bench for four games in the first half year of the season.
On 19 March 2019, Høgh signed a long-term contract with Randers. He was set to be permanently promoted to the first team from the 2019–20 season.[5] After an injury, Randers decided on 29 July 2020 to loan Høgh out to Icelandic club Valur for the rest of 2020, to get some regular match fitness.[6]
Hobro IK
editOn 18 June 2021, Høgh signed a three-year deal with Danish 1st Division club Hobro IK.[7] Høgh made a total of 12 appearances for the club, scoring four goals.

Stabæk
editOn 18 January 2023, Høgh joined newly promoted Norwegian Eliteserien side Stabæk on a year-long loan deal with a purchase option.[11] On 2 July 2023, after scoring 8 goals in 14 games, Stabæk confirmed that the club had exercised the purchase option on Høgh with immediate effect, with Høgh signing a deal until the end of 2025.[12]
