He started his career in Strømmen IF and was drafted into the senior team in 1988.[1] In 1992 he moved on to the larger club Vålerenga,[2] only lasting one year and moving on to Lørenskog IF.[3]
However, in 1995 he finally made his break onto the first tier when joining newly promoted Stabæk.[4] From 1997 to 2001 he enjoyed a steady second spell with Vålerenga, though missing the 1999 season through a serious knee injury. He won the 1997 Norwegian Football Cup Final. In 2002 he rounded off with a season in Hønefoss BK.[5]
