He was then scouted by FC Nordsjælland. He went to trials but he decided to join Slangerup OIF instead so he could be 100% prepared. In 2010 he then joined Nordsjælland.^[3] In October 2017, just a year after signing his first contract, with FC Nordsjælland on his 15-year birthday, Villadsen signed a new three-year contract.^[4]

In the summer 2019, Villadsen was permanently promoted into the first-team squad, at age 17. He penned a new three-year professional contract with the club.^[5] On 11 August 2019, Villadsen got his official debut for FC Nordsjælland against Silkeborg IF in the Danish Superliga, playing the last 15 minutes of the game.

On 12 August 2024, Villadsen signed with 1. FC Nürnberg in German 2. Bundesliga.^[6]
