A first cousin of Linda Medalen, he went from third-tier Ålgård FK in 1992 to being Bryne FK's top goalscorer in 1993 and securing a contract with Viking FK in 1994. [1] In 1996 he was shipped on to Sogndal Fotball, [2] returning to Rogaland and Bryne FK in 1997. [3] The transfer fees went from 195,000 kr to Viking, 170,000 kr to Sogndal and 175,000 kr to Bryne.

In 2003, his contract was due to expire at the end of the year, and at the onset of the season Medalen faced long-term injury, meaning that he never returned to professional football. [5]
