In January 2017, Kaastrup joined the first team squad on their training camp in Portugal.[5] He made his official first team debut on 14 July 2017, in a game against AC Horsens, replacing Jakob Ankersen with 15 minutes to go. He became the youngest ever debutant for the club at the age of 16 years and 198 days.[6] On 28 March 2018, Kaastrup signed a full-time contract with AGF with expiration at the end of 2020.[4]

On 27 May 2019, AGF announced that they had loaned out Kaastrup to the reserve team of Dortmund, Borussia Dortmund II, from the upcoming 2019–20 season, being reunited with his former manager Mike Tullberg.[7]

On 5 October 2020, Kaastrup was loaned out again, this time to Danish 1st Division club Viborg FF for the rest of 2020.[8] He made his debut on 16 October, coming off the bench as a late substitute in a 3–1 victory against Fremad Amager.[9] He made 10 appearances for the club, in which he scored one goal and provided two assists.[10]

He had a strong start to the 2021–22 season, recording three goals and three assists in the first six league games.[15] On 23 October, he scored the winner in a 1–0 victory against AC Horsens, lifting Lyngby to the top of the league table.[16] On 2 April 2022, Kaastrup scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 win against Nykøbing to draw his club closer to promotion,[17] which was achieved on 23 May.[18]
