Hailing from the island Stord, he grew up in the club Solid.[1] Until 1993 he played for Stord, joining Solid in the autumn and then Vard ahead of the 1994 1. divisjon season.[2] In 1996 he returned to Solid, then signed for Trott in 1997.[3] Coming in contact with the agent Terje Simonsen, he trialled unsuccessfully with Dunfermline and later secured a move to Estonian football. While here he was also loaned out to English second-tier club Stockport County for a less fruitful spell. He nonetheless wanted to move away from the Estonian league, and in 1999 he secured a contract with Norwegian sovereigns Rosenborg. However, after only four league games he again moved abroad in the summer of 1999, to Greek Ionikos. Ahead of the 2000 season he returned to Norway and Strømsgodset from Drammen, his most stable outfit where he stayed for four seasons.[4][5]
After a tenure near home in 2004, in FK Haugesund, he settled in Eastern Norway and played seven seasons for Notodden FK interrupted by one season in Mjøndalen IF, then hobby-level football for Drammen FK, SBK Skiold and Åskollen FK.[6]
