Hailing from Randaberg, [2] he played youth football for Viking and represented Norway as a youth international. [3] [4] In 1994 he went on trial with AFC Ajax, followed by IFK Göteborg and Ipswich Town in 1995, Southampton in 1996 and a week-long trial with AC Milan Primavera in 1997. [5]

He started his senior career in Bryne, but was not a squad member in 2000 and went to Randaberg; in mid-2000 he moved to Oslo and played successively for Skeid and Ullern. In 2002 he joined Ull/Kisa, [4] and after 25 goals in the 2003 2. divisjon he was picked up by Lillestrøm. [6] [2] Never a success, in mid-2005 he moved on to Notodden.
