Qvist normally played as a left fullback, but was mostly used as a left midfielder in his first half season.

The midfielder got his official debut for AC Horsens on 7 April 2017.[3] Qvist started on the bench, but came on the pitch in the 81st minute, replacing André Bjerregaard in a 0-2 loss against Randers FC in the Danish Superliga.

Qvist signed a new contract with ACH in May 2017 until the summer 2019.[1] His contract got once again extended on 9 May 2018, this time until the summer 2022.[1]

On 4 February 2020, Qvist was loaned out to Icelandic club KA.[4]

gollark: I know, right?
gollark: I wouldn't mind a thicker phone. I already have one of those thick wallet-y cases.
gollark: It would be really nice to get phones with several-day battery life. The annoying thing is that lithium ion batteries *are* improving, becoming higher density and all, but the phones just get thinner and less efficient somehow.
