He started his career in Råde IL and represented Norway as a youth international.[1] He went from Moss FK to Viking FK in 1997, then Skeid Fotball in 1998[2] before moving to Telemark in 1999; first playing for IL Skarphedin.[3]

Finishing in bronze position in the 1996 Eliteserien, Viking qualified for the 1997-98 UEFA Cup. Kindervåg played one of the UEFA Cup matches, the home leg against Vojvodina Novi Sad where Viking progressed after a penalty shootout.[4] After the 1997 season, Stavanger Aftenblad reported that Nyhaug would leave Viking. He had offers from Odd and Skeid, but would study law in Oslo.[5]

Outside of football, Nyhaug became a lawyer.
