In 2019 he started his senior career at Kjelsås in the 2. divisjon and also made his debut for a Norwegian youth national team.[1] At the end of the season he was selected by the Football Association of Norway as 2. divisjon's "talent of the year".[2] Right before the closing of the second summer transfer window in 2020, as late as October, he was bought by first-tier Stabæk.[3] He made his debut later that month as a starter against Aalesund.[1]
