Career

Vejle BK

Damgaard joined Vejle Boldklub in January 2015 at the age of 14 from AC Horsens and was immediately promoted to the U17 squad.[1]

He got his first team debut on 11 September 2018 in a Danish Cup game against BK Frem. Damgaard started on the bench, before replacing Sean Murray in the 80th minute in a game which Vejle won after penalties. In December 2019, he also got his debut in the Danish Superliga.

Ahead of the 2019-20 season, Damgaard was permanently promoted to the first team squad and signed a 1-year full time professional contract after a good season with the U19's, scoring 12 goals which made him the topscorer of the team.[1] On 22 July 2019, Damgaard signed a new three-year contract with Vejle and was loaned out to Finnish club Helsinki IFK, a club owned by the same owner of Vejle.[2] On 22 January 2020, Damgaard was loaned out again, this time to Danish 2nd Division club Middelfart G&BK.[3]
