Hyseni joinedSønderjyske's academy as an U-13 player fromFC Sønderborg, but after two years of driving long distances on a daily basis, he moved closer to the club.[3] Here he worked his way up through the club's youth academy and in the summer of 2022, on his 15th birthday, he signed his first contract with the club.[4]
On October 27, 2023, 16-year-old Hyseni made his debut for Sønderjyske where he came on in the 80th minute and set up the 4-0 goal five minutes later in minute 85. in aDanish 1st Division match againstB.93.[5][6] With his 16 years, three months and ten days of age, Hyseni became the second youngest debutant ever for Sønderjyske.[7]
Hyseni scored his first professional goal in a win againstNæstved Boldklub on November 24, 2023, where he scored the last goal of the match as a substitute for the final score of 4-1.[8] The goal made him the youngest player in Sønderjyske Football's history to score a professional goal at the age of 16 years, four months and seven days.[9] He took over the record fromSimon Poulsen who scored in a cup match for Sønderjyske at the age of 16 years and 11 months in 2001.[10]
On December 28, 2023, he signed his first full-time contract with Sønderjyske until June 2026, and was promoted to the first team squad at the same time.[11]
In August 2025, after a strong start to the 2025-26 season, 18-year-old Hyseni extended his contract until June 2029.[12]
