Club career

Hailing from Kristiansund, he came through the ranks of talent factory Clausenengen before joining first-tier club Brann in 1987.[2][3] After two seasons there, he took two seasons in Molde and one in Hamkam.[4] In 1993 he spent several months on free transfer before joining third-tier club Averøykameratene in March.[5] He did however manage to return to the top flight with Vålerenga, where he stayed until the summer of 1997 when he was loaned out to Skeid. He was also loaned out to Clausenengen in the spring of 1998 before venturing to Greek football and Panionios. After two years there he retired in 2000.[4][6]

Kruse was capped a total of 6 games for Norway at international youth level.[2]
