Career & Clubs
Høgh grew up in Vorup, a suburb of Randers, Central Denmark Region, and began playing football with local club Vorup at the age of four. He also played handball in his youth, following his parents, Ulla Waarst Sørensen and Peter Høgh, both former divisional handball players, before deciding to focus on football at the age of 12. After progressing from Vorup, he joined the Randers youth system in January 2014, where he developed into a prolific goalscorer. During one under-19 league season, he scored 23 goals in 19 matches, finishing as the division's top scorer despite being young for the age group.
Randers
In December 2017, Høgh signed a new contract with Randers, keeping him at the club until 2020. He was first included in the senior matchday squad on 4 April 2018 for a Danish Cup match against Silkeborg. Eleven days later, he made his first-team debut, replacing Mikael Boman in the 80th minute of a 3–0 away defeat to OB in the Danish Superliga. Having established himself as the club's top scorer at under-19 level, Høgh signed a five-year contract with Randers on 19 March 2019 and was scheduled to be promoted permanently to the first-team squad from the start of the 2019–20 season. He subsequently featured only intermittently for the senior side, making 17 first-team appearances and scoring once before being loaned out in July 2020. On 29 July 2020, Høgh joined Icelandic club Valur on loan for the remainder of the calendar year. Randers stated that, having recently returned from injury, he needed regular playing time as part of his development. The move was later described by Randers as having been disrupted by injuries. Høgh left Randers permanently on 18 June 2021, when he was sold to Danish 1st Division club Hobro. Randers described him as a talented goalscorer who needed consistent playing time to continue his development, and stated that the club had secured a buy-back option as part of the transfer. He left having made 22 first-team appearances and scored one goal for the club.

On 17 March 2026, Høgh received his first call-up to the senior Denmark squad from head coach Brian Riemer for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification play-off against North Macedonia. He made his senior debut in the 4–0 victory over North Macedonia nine days later, coming on for Rasmus Højlund in the 81st minute. On 31 March, Høgh made his second appearance in the play-off final against the Czech Republic in Prague. Introduced as a substitute for Morten Hjulmand in the 105th minute with Denmark trailing 2–1 in extra time, he headed in a corner delivered by Anders Dreyer in the 111th minute to equalise and force a penalty shoot-out—his first goal for the senior national team. Denmark were defeated 3–1 in the shoot-out, eliminating them from World Cup qualification.
