Club career

Born in Lyngen, the left-footed former under-21 international was picked up by Lillestrøm SK after the 2005 relegation of his former team Bodø/Glimt. Olsen returned to Bodø/Glimt later in the same year.[1]

In 2006 Olsen played for the Sápmi national football team in the unofficial VIVA World Cup[2] for the non-members of the FIFA or the UEFA organizations.

In the 2007 Norwegian Cup, Olsen scored four goals. In 2007, Bodø/Glimt promoted to the top division. The following season, he scored 10 goals in the league and had 14 assists. Olsen transferred to Rosenborg before the 2009 season.[1] He joined Viking in August 2011.[3]

On 23 January 2014 he returned to Bodø/Glimt on a three-year contract.[4] Olsen signed with Sogndal on 15 August 2018, after failing to play for the first team.[5]

On 1 February 2019 it was announced, that Olsen's contract with Sogndal had been terminated by mutual consent.[6] On 29 December 2019 it was announced, that Olsen is retirering from football.[7]
