Born in Brasschaat, Antwerp, Belgium,[1] Augustijns played youth football for Achterbroek, Willem II, Beerschot and Waasland-Beveren before playing for KV Mechelen between 2014 and 2019.[3][4] He left KV Mechelen in summer 2019 and subsequently signed for RKC Waalwijk.[4] He made his debut for Waalwijk on 28 October 2020, starting in a 2–2 KNVB Cup draw with SC Cambuur before being substituted with 15 minutes remaining.[5][4] He made his Eredivisie debut for Waalwijk as a substitute in a 1–1 draw away to sc Heerenveen on 14 January 2021.[2] In March 2021, Augustijns signed a two-year contract extension with RKC, keeping him at the club until 2023.[1]

On 15 December 2021, Augustijns suffered a fracture in his left fibula in the 41st minute of a cup match against Harkemase Boys, which required surgery and kept him sidelined for several months.[6][7] He returned to the pitch on 15 May 2022, replacing Vurnon Anita in the 83rd minute of a 3–1 away league victory against AZ.[8][9]

Augustijns left RKC in 2023, after making 22 total appearances for the club in three years.[2] He failed to become a starter during his time at the club, and expressed that he wanted to seek playing time elsewhere.[10]

Augustijns announced his retirement from professional football in January 2024, choosing instead to focus on a civil career in his in-laws' company.[13] Next to his civil career, he wanted to continue playing amateur football.[14]
