A midfielder, Westergaard graduated through Lyngby's academy,[2] before making his first-team debut as a starter in a 3–0 Danish Superliga defeat to OB on 22 April 2018.[2][3] He was permanently promoted to the first team in the summer of 2018 after the club had suffered relegation to the Danish second tier.[4] Westergaard signed a one-and-a-half-year contract extension with Lyngby on 4 January 2019.[4] Six months later, after Lyngby had reached promotion to the Superliga after one season, he signed another contract extension, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2022.[5][6]
