In 2018, Haugli moved to the United States to play college soccer at Virginia Tech. In four seasons with the Hokies, Haugli went on to make 71 appearances, scoring four goals and adding three assists. In 2020 he was named to the Academic Honor-Roll.[2]

On 26 April 2022, it was announced Haugli would sign with Portland's MLS Next Pro side Portland Timbers 2, but would spend the remainder of the season with USL Championship club Phoenix Rising.[12][13] After making nine appearances for Phoenix, he was recalled by Portland on 9 August 2022.[14][15] He went on to play in six games for Timbers 2 in the MLS Next Pro that season.[16]

After a season in Norway with Moss, Haugli returned to the United States on 28 December 2023 to join USL League One side One Knoxville ahead of their 2024 season.[17]
