After four seasons in the SHL with Färjestad BK, Hillding left as a free agent to sign a two-year contract in a return to former club, the Växjö Lakers, with whom he played during their tenure in the HockeyAllsvenskan on April 28, 2015.[1]

Hillding played the 2018–19 season, helping IK Oskarshamn gain promotion to the SHL for the first time in their history. He posted 29 points in 49 games, and notched 12 points in 12 as a large contributor in their qualification games.

As a free agent, Hillding opted not to continue with Oskarshamn, accepting a one-year contract to play in Austria with the Graz 99ers of the EBEL on 2 July 2019.[2]
