On 19 May 2015, Salquist signed a new three-year contract with Silkeborg.[3]

On 30 May 2018, Silkeborg confirmed, that Salquist would leave the club in the summer, where his contract expired.[4] At this time, there were rumors linking him together with a transfer to the Belgian club Waasland-Beveren. One day later, Salquist confirmed, that he was joining a Belgian club, without revealing which club.[5]

Lillestrøm SK

On 7 January 2019, Lillestrøm SK confirmed that they had signed Salquist on a three-year contract.[8] His former Silkeborg teammate Daniel A. Pedersen accidentally confirmed the transfer a few hours before the club itself released the news.[9] On 7 September 2020 the club confirmed, that Salquist had agreed to terminate his contract so he could return to Denmark and be closer to his girlfriend, who was pregnant.[10]

Hobro IK

After returning to Denmark, Salquist went on a trial at Esbjerg fB, but ended up joining Hobro IK on 9 September 2020, signing a deal for the rest of the year.[11]

Return to Silkeborg

On 13 January 2021 Silkeborg IF confirmed, that Salquist had returned to the club on a three-year deal.[12]

Chicago Fire

Nordsjælland

On 2 January 2025, Salquist returned to Denmark, signing with Nordsjælland on a deal until June 2028.[14][15] Although all indications were that he would be loaned out to Chicago Fire for the rest of the season after his move to Nordsjælland, the club confirmed on January 21, 2025 that Salquist would stay in Nordsjælland after the sale of Lucas Hey.[16]
