He started his career in Strømmen IF and was drafted into the senior team in 1988.[2] In 1992 he moved on to the larger club Vålerenga,[3] only lasting one year and moving on to Lørenskog IF.[4]

However, in 1995 he finally made his break onto the first tier when joining newly promoted Stabæk.[5] From 1997 to 2001 he enjoyed a steady second spell with Vålerenga, though missing the 1999 season through a serious knee injury. He won the 1997 Norwegian Football Cup Final. In 2002 he rounded off with a season in Hønefoss BK.[6]
