Troest began his career at the age of six years in the youth of the small Tårnby Bold club, before moving to the two traditional training clubs Kjøbenhavns Bold and B.93 club from his hometown Copenhagen. During his adolescence in B.93 he became the U-16 junior national team of his country and was soon as great defensive talent.

In 2003, he was then given at the age of sixteen years an offer from the English Premier League club Aston Villa, which he accepted. As a result, he played just two years in the youth of the Villans, but without being considered for the first team.

2005 therefore followed on his instigation the return home to FC Midtjylland in the SAS Liga.

FC Midtjylland

With a clear goal in professional football to gain a foothold, he then went into his first season at Midtjylland, but spent the first third of the season on the bench or in the youth section of the club. It was only on 26 October 2005, he celebrated in the home match against FC Nordsjælland for the last ten minutes of the game made ​​its debut in the A- team. It was not until the second half of the season he could against Marc Møller and Winston Reid, who were his direct competitor for a starting berth, enforce and formed in a row together with Jesper Mikkelsen 's central defense of the club.

In the season 2006/ 07 he made with the team for a minor sensation when you played along long time for the title in the SAS League and finished runners-up. The team that got along with almost no veterans, was indeed certified talent in advance of the season, but they had been more often considered in the middle of the league. Besides Troest advanced in the course of the season players like Dennis Sørensen Mikkel Thygesen, Leon Jessen and Simon Poulsen of talent to top players in the league and attracted the interest of several major clubs in coming.

For 2007/ 08 the club most of its performers then lost to clubs in stronger European leagues, yielding was again classified more as outsider for the title fight. Contrary to expectations, however, the team played again for the title with prolonged and the performance of the previous year but with the times runner-up title. The showpiece of the team made the newly formed defense, led by a formidable Troest which allowed the fewest goals in the league. The disposal of Mikkelsen is compensated with Simon Kjær, a talent of his own youth, the excellently harmonized together with Troest. With Jessen and Kolja Afriyie on the winger made ​​to this the youngest defense in the league.

After the outstanding season Troest could choose between offerings of various international associations and was no longer tenable for Midtjylland. Based on the best use of opportunities, he decided in order for a change to Serie B for FC Parma.

FC Parma

In the eighteen years later excellence just relegated Parma, he came up to the seventeenth round not on the role of the Joker out before him with a header the decisive goal succeeded to 1-0 win over U.S. Avellino on his debut in the star formation.

With the defensive as a showpiece Parma finished the season with the least goals against 2nd place behind champions AS Bari.

After the outstanding debut season in Italy Troest could not be held in order for the cash-strapped Parma and moved to Genoa. Genoa had already since joining Parma half of the player's transfer rights and acquired him after he had convinced completely.

Recreativo Huelva

Due to the large squad density of defenders and the associated low chances of operating time, the club tried to sell it profitably in a row. However, after an intended transfer to FC Fulham failed, you gave him then with option to purchase at the similar Parma fresh just descended from the excellence Recreativo Huelva. In Huelva, that also went into the season with the clear aim of immediate revival, then followed by a performance stagnation. Troest, brought with great early praise as a substitute for the returned to the homeland defense Star Beto, had over the entire season a regular place, but did not meet the high expectations. After Recreativo clearly failed as a table ninth in no man's land on the resurgence, there was no money for a firm commitment of the player, after which he returned to Genoa.

Atalanta Bergamo

In Genoa coach Gian Piero Gasperini had after the signing of four new defenders still no place in the senior squad the team, after which Troest was released again on loan to Serie A relegated Atalanta Bergamo. He is the third time in a row in a squad Erstligaabsteigers.
