Career in the club

He then left Denmark and moved to the Dutch honor division for SC Heerenveen . There he played 26 games in two years, where he scored six goals and reached the cup final with the club in 1997 .

In the summer of the year he moved further south to MVV Maastricht . He made the breakthrough in Limburg, but only scored three goals.

In the winter of 2005 Nygaard dissolved his contract with Brescia Calcio and moved to the English second division side Queens Park Rangers , where he became a regular player.

Three years later, in January 2008, Nygaard returned to his Danish homeland and has since been hunting goals for Randers FC, where he also wore the captain's armband. In the summer of 2010, he refused a contract extension and left the East Jutes, which Nygaard was without a club from July 1.
