This occurred on 26 September 2018 in a Danish Cup match against HB Køge, where he kept a clean sheet in a 4–0 win. In the first league game of newly appointed manager Flemming Pedersen on 30 March 2019, Vindahl made his Danish Superliga debut against FC Midtjylland, which ended 0–0.

On 10 January 2019, Vindahl signed a new contract extension keeping him in Nordsjælland until 2022. In his first season at the club, Vindahl was first keeper, making a total of 48 appearances. But in his second season, he had to act as reserve for Hobie Verhulst.

In search of more playing time, German 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg could confirm on 11 December 2022 that Vindahl from January 2023 until the end of the season, would play for the club on a loan-deal.

On 25 July 2023, Vindahl joined Czech First League club Sparta Prague a one-year loan deal with an option.
