In the 2011–12 season, Lyngby relegated to the Danish 1st Division, where he played for another year. In September 2013, he signed a three-year contract with AC Horsens, for whom he made 35 appearances at the 1st Division. [2] [4]

In March 2015, Helstrup was loaned for four months to Swedish club Helsingborgs IF, coached by Henrik Larsson. [5] [6] On 4 April 2015, he made his Allsvenskan debut in a goalless match against Kalmar FF. [7] Before the end of the loan period, the club decided to sign Helstrup on a permanent transfer. [8] For two consecutive seasons he was a starter in the defense. After the 2016 season ended, Helsingborgs IF suffered relegation to Superettan, after losing 2–3 to Halmstads BK. [9] Helstrup played in both matches, scoring an own goal in the first one.

In the summer of 2017, he moved to Polish Ekstraklasa club Arka Gdynia led by head coach Leszek Ojrzyński. [10] [11] In the seventh matchday of the 2017–18 season, he made his debut in a 3–0 defeat to Lech Poznań. [12] In the same season, Helstrup reached the finals of the Polish Cup with Arka Gdynia. [13] In 2018, he won the Polish Super Cup with Arka after a 3–2 victory over Legia Warsaw. [14]

In 2020, Helstrup moved to Dutch Eerste Divisie club Almere City FC as a free agent, where he signed a two-year contract. [15] After eight years abroad, Helstrup returned to his homeland on 13 July 2022, when he signed a two-year deal with Danish 1st Division side FC Helsingør. [16] At the end of the 2023-24 season, which ended with relegation to the Danish 2nd Division for Helsingør, Helstrup left the club. [17]
