He first came into the spotlight when he scored the goal that secured the Norway Cup victory for Lillestrøm's junior team in 2003. At that time he had already spent time on loan at the senior team of Sørumsand IF.[2] He eventually made his way into Lillestrøm's senior B team, playing in the Norwegian Second Division.[3] Also, he got one Norwegian Premier League game in 2004, without scoring.[4] By then he was the fourth generation of his family to play first-team football for Lillestrøm.[2]

In the summer of 2005 he was transferred to Ullensaker/Kisa IL together with Mato Grubisic.[5] He later played in Skjetten SK during their victorious 2007 Third Division campaign.[6] After spending the 2008 season in Gjerdrum IL, he returned to Skjetten in 2009.[7] After the season, he went on to Flisbyen BK.[8] He was not on the roster for the 2011 season because of studies.[9] In 2013 he was home from Australia and rejoined Skjetten.[10] He featured for Flisbyen again in 2014.[11]
