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 Pedersen was injured in the match against FC Midtjylland after a collision at the end of the first half.[7] It was a horror debut for Kiilerich, who let in two goals before the end of the first half alone, in a match that Viborg ended up losing 5–1.[8][9]
