Club career

Aase began his career with Brann and made his debut in a Norwegian Cup match against Arna-Bjørnar in 1973, coming on as a substitute to score a hat-trick. [3] He scored nine league goals in his first three seasons, with seven of them scored during the 1975 First Division campaign where Brann finished as runners-up behind Viking. [3] Aase formed a partnership with Bjørn Tronstad upon the latter's arrival. [3] They both scored in the 1976 Norwegian Cup Final as Brann defeated Sogndal 2–1 to claim their fourth title. [4] [5] Aase scored 15 goals in 22 league games during the 1976 season. [3] Brann finished in mid-table over the next two campaigns with Aase scoring 26 league goals during that time before a knee injury suffered ahead of the 1979 season meant he missed the entire campaign. Without him, Brann were relegated to the Second Division. [3]

Having recovered from injury, Aase was transferred to Start ahead of the 1980 season. Joining Svein Mathisen in attack, Start were crowned Norwegian champions for the second time. [3] [6] Aase scored the decisive goal in a 4–3 win against Rosenborg on the final day of the season as Start won the title by virtue of a better goal difference than Bryne. [7] He spent three more seasons with Start, scoring 28 league goals for the club in total, [1] before returning to Brann in 1984. [3] Aase scored ten goals in 15 league games during the 1984 campaign as Brann was promoted back to the First Division. [3] [8] He retired at the end of the 1985 season. [3] Aase returned to Brann in the 1990s as a coach and went on to be employed by the club's marketing department. [3]

International career

He made his senior international debut for Norway against Denmark on 25 August 1976. [2] He appeared again the following month against Sweden and went on to gain four more caps over the next two years. [2] [9] Prior to being selected for the senior team, Aase represented Norway at the under-21 level. He made seven appearances over a four-year period, scoring one goal – against Finland. [2]
