Høibråten played for Fet IL in his early career, and joined Lillestrøm's youth section in 2009.[2] On 1 May 2011 he made his senior debut in the 2011 Norwegian Football Cup.[3] He made his debut in the Norwegian Premier League later that season.

In the latter half of the 2012 season he was loaned to Strømmen IF in the 1. Divisjon.[4] In 2013, he returned to Lillestrøm, becoming more regular. However, on 23 August 2013, he signed a deal with Strømsgodset from 2014, leaving on Bosman.[5] He made his debut for Strømsgodset on 30 March 2014 in the first league match of the season, and was a regular for the rest of the season.

In August 2018 Høibråten signed with Sandefjord on a two-year contract.[6]

On 27 May 2020, he signed for Bodø/Glimt on a three-year contract.[7] He proceeded to win two consecutive Eliteserien titles with the club, both in 2020 and 2021.

On 17 January 2023, Høibråten joined Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds on a permanent deal. The club is a former club for his former teammate on Bodø/Glimt, Kasper Junker.[8]
