A very prolific goalscorer in sixth-tier Liungen IF, he was picked up by Mjøndalen IF in 1993 where he played junior football.[1] He was not offered a senior contract[2] and returned to Liungen, now on the fifth tier. In 1995 he scored about 50 league goals.[3]

Chased by a number of clubs, in 1997 he signed for second-tier Eik-Tønsberg.[4] Following 13 goals in the 1999 1. divisjon he was signed by first-tier club Odd. Following a loan to Ørn-Horten and little playing time in Odd in 2001 and 2002, he continued two years in Tollnes before retiring.[5]

He came out of retirement to play for Skotfoss in 2007,[6] then rejoined Liungen. He finished his career in Sparta/Bragerøen which changed its name to Stoppen.[5]
