Club career

Frederik Heiselberg played for partner clubs Strellev Lyne GU and Tarm IF before moving to FC Midtjylland. He fought his way up through Midtjylland's youth ranks. In June 2021, he signed a new long-term deal with Midtjylland until June 2025. ^[2] At the same time, Heiselberg was also promoted to the first team. ^[1] However, two serious injuries put an end to Heiselberg's season. From April 2022 he was back and from April onwards he scored ten goals in ten games in the U19 League. ^[3]

Ahead of the 2022–23 season, still yet to make his Midtjylland debut, Heiselberg was loaned out to Danish 1st Division club FC Fredericia until the end of the season. ^[4] However, on 4 January 2023 Midtjylland announced, that Heiselberg had been recalled and also signed a new long-term deal until the end of 2027. ^[5]

After his return to Midtjylland, Heiselberg made his official debut for Midtjylland against Brøndby IF in the Danish Superliga on 27 February 2023. ^[6] Heiselberg scored his first goal for his club on 31 March 2023 against OB.

On 21 July 2023, Heiselberg joined newly relegated Danish 1st Division side AC Horsens on a one-year loan deal. ^[7] On May 30, 2024, the club confirmed that Heiselberg will return to Midtjylland after the end of the loan speel. ^[8] After finishing his loan spell, Heiselberg returned to Midtjylland. ^[9]
