He made his senior debut in the 1991 Norwegian Premier League, playing one game.[6] In 1991, he went on loan to Fredrikstad FK,[7] and in 1992 to Bærum SK.[8] From 1993 to 1995 he played for Lyn again, and scored 24 goals in 63 league games.[6] From 1996 to 2000 he played for Stabæk Fotball, scoring 10 goals in 109 league games. He won the Norwegian Football Cup 1998.[9] He returned to Lyn ahead of the 2001 season,[6] did not play because of injury, then retired,[10] but returned briefly to play two games in 2003.[6]

After a long hiatus, in 2010 he signed for low-level team Bærumsløkka FK together with Jan-Derek Sørensen and Glenn Hartmann.[11]
