In 2012 she won the Danish youth League with FC Midtjyllands U-18 team. After three seasons where she broke through to the first team at Skive fH, she signed a three year contract with Odense HC.[5] She would end up playing only one season at Odense, but in that season she was the club top scorer with 57. After a season at Odense she transferred to Viborg HK.[6][7] Here she won her first senior medals, when the club won silver in the 2020–21 Damehåndboldligaen.[8] On 30 January 2022, it was announced that Haugsted had signed a 2-year contract with Hungarian top club Győri ETO KC.[9] Here she won the Hungarian league title in her first year. After a little more than a year, she returned to Danish handball to join Team Esbjerg.[10]
