Hailing from Frekhaug,[1] he started his career in IL Kvernbit, and later played for Åsane Fotball and Bryne FK.[2] He joined FK Haugesund in 1997,[3] and enjoyed a spell in the Norwegian Premier League in the seasons 1997 and 1998.[4] He left ahead of the 2000 season to join Danish team Vejle BK,[5] having formerly trialled for Sheffield United.[6]

Ahead of the 2004 season, Bjørndal was hired as head coach of Åsane, with Håkon Østevold as assistant coach.[7] Bjørndal only stayed for one year, and was hired as assistant coach under Magnus Johansson at Løv-Ham Fotball ahead of the 2005 season.[8] One year later, Johansson left and Bjørndal was promoted to head coach.[1] Løv-Ham survived the battle against relegation, but Bjørndal resigned at the end of the season.[9] Shortly thereafter, Bjørndal was hired as director of sports in Åsane.[10]
