Magnus Hee Westergaard (; born 27 May 1998) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eliteserien club VÃÂ¥lerenga.
Born in Frederiksberg, Capital Region of Denmark, Westergaard began playing football as a youth for Frederiksberg Boldklub in 2004. In 2011, he moved to the FC Copenhagen School of Excellence where he stayed for three years before joining Lyngby Boldklub at U17 level.
Westergaard graduated through the Lyngby academy, before making his first-team debut as a starter in a 3âÂÂ0 Danish Superliga defeat to OB on 22 April 2018.
He was permanently promoted to the first team in the summer of 2018 after the club had suffered relegation to the Danish second tier. Westergaard signed a one-and-a-half-year contract extension with Lyngby on 4 January 2019. 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.
On 1 October 2020, Westergaard joined Danish 1st Division club Hvidovre IF on a loan deal for the rest of 2020. On 4 October, he made his debut for the club in a 2âÂÂ1 away win over Vendsyssel. Later that month, he scored his first goal in a 1âÂÂ5 home loss to Silkeborg.
In December 2020, Westergaard extended his loan deal by a further six months. In his season with Hvidovre, Westergaard scored 5 goals in 25 total appearances, including one in the Danish Cup round of 16 against Vejle Boldklub, which saw his club knocked out after a 2âÂÂ3 loss.
Westergaard returned to Lyngby after his loan deal with Hvidovre expired. In the meantime, Lyngby had suffered relegation to the second-tier. Westergaard immediately appeared in the starting lineup upon his return, in a 2âÂÂ1 away win over Nykøbing. He was a starter during the 2021âÂÂ22 campaign, in which Lyngby managed to win promotion back to the Superliga. Westergaard finished the season with 27 total appearances in which he scored four goals.
On 30 January 2023, Westergaard was sold to Viborg FF, signing a deal until the end of 2025. He scored his first league goal for Viborg FF in a 3âÂÂ0 away win against Brøndby IF.
On 16 January 2025, Westergaard signed for English League One club Wycombe Wanderers. He made his competitive debut for the club on 28 January, replacing Tyreeq Bakinson in the 74th minute of a 2âÂÂ1 home win over Barnsley.
On 8 January 2026, Westergaard joined Eliteserien club VÃÂ¥lerenga for an undisclosed fee.
