In the summer of 2012, Persepolis tried to acquire Haghighi but Fajr Sepasi rejected Persepolis's undisclosed bid (reported €220,000)[13] and he had to stay at Fajr Sepasi.[14] Ultimately, during the mid-season transfer window of the 12th Iran Pro League, the two teams reached an agreement on his transfer terms and Haghighi joined Persepolis on November 21, 2012. He signed a 2.5 year contract until the end of the 2014–15 season.[15][16] He made his debut for Persepolis in a 6–0 win against Malavan in the 2012–13 Hazfi Cup Round of 32.[17] He scored his first goal for Persepolis from a penalty kick in a match against Saipa on 28 February 2013.[18] On December 27, 2014 he was officially released from Persepolis.[19] He finished his career in Persepolis with 61 appearances and 3 goals.
Haghighi joined Padideh in December 2014 with a contract until the end of season.[20]
Haghighi joined Saba Qom in the summer of 2015 with a two–year contract. He was released before mid season having only played six matches for the club.
In January 2016 Haghighi signed a contract with Thai Premier League club Suphanburi.[21] He played in a preseason game against Albirex Niigata for just 45 minutes, before the contract was canceled shortly before the season opening.[22]
On 11 October 2016, Haghighi returned to Padideh by signing a seven-month contract.[23][24]
