Career
Kiilerich started playing football in Viborg Nørremarken, and later moved to FK Viborg as a U13 player.[2] At the age of 15, Kiilerich was already a regular on the U19 team and trained regularly with the senior squad. On his 16th birthday, Kiilerich was permanently promoted to the first team squad.[3] On 31 August 2022, 16-year-old Kiilerich made his official debut for Viborg in a Danish Cup match against Viby IF.[4][5]
In March 2023, Killerich was given a new contract in Viborg until the end of 2025.[6]
On 4 December 2023, Killerich finally made his Danish Superliga debut when first goalkeeper Lucas Lund was injured in the match against FC Midtjylland after a collision at the end of the first half.[7] Viborg would lose the match 5–1.[8][9]
On 6 January 2025, in search of more playing time, it was confirmed that Kiilerich joined Danish 2nd Division club Aarhus Fremad on a loan deal until the end of the season.[10] On 12 June 2025, Viborg confirmed that Kiilerich's contract had been extended until the end of 2028, and that he would also be loaned out for the upcoming season to Aarhus Fremad, where he had helped secure promotion to the 2025–26 Danish 1st Division.[11] During the club's 2025–26, Kiilerich played in 30 matches for Fremad with 8 clean sheets.[12] The club announced on 22 May that he would return to Viborg after the end of the season, ending his two years spent with the club on loan.[13][14]
