Wassberg first played for Brann between 1989 and 1993, before he transferred to the "other team" from Bergen, Fyllingen. Later that season his dream of playing football in Europe came true when he left his home city to play ball in Greece. Wassberg spent four years in Greece, where he won the Greek Cup in 1998 with Panionios NFC. Wassberg later returned to Bergen and Brann where he played for the next seven seasons, and captained in 2003.[3]

In the middle of the 2004 season, Wassberg was released from Brann, and he decided to return to his motherclub, Fyllingen.[4] In the 2006 pre-season, Wassberg was appointed the new head coach in Fyllingen, whilst still playing for the club.[5]
