After the 2004 season with Fredrikstad he was voted player of the year by the supporters, and as a result of the good form he was displaying he was selected to be with the Norwegian national team during their winter tour in the Middle East where he won 3 caps, all as a substitute. Halfway through the 2005 season he left Fredrikstad for AGF Aarhus, [2] where he played one season for AGF which ended with relegation.

He left Fredrikstad to join GIF Sundsvall in the winter 2011 before returning to Norway and Sandefjord. As captain he helped the team to promotion to the Norwegian Premier League in 2014. On the opening day of the Norwegian summer transfer window he decided to join Fredrikstad for the third time in his career. [4] He came on a free transfer and signed a 1,5 year contract, finally retiring at the end of 2016.
