He joined the youth ranks of Stabæk, and then their junior team. In 2013, he was taken in as a third-choice goalkeeper of the senior team, which was then languishing in the First Division. Stabæk won promotion, but Omholt-Jensen did not play.
In 2014, their first-choice goalkeeper Sayouba Mandé was called up to the World Cup. Stabæk loaned Borger Thomas to cover for him, but in Thomas' debut match he was sent off after a mere three minutes. Omholt-Jensen played the rest of the match, which Stabæk lost 1–5.[2] In the summer of 2014, Omholt-Jensen chose to continue his career in the American college system with the Duke Blue Devils.[3]
Omholt-Jensen is 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) tall and left-footed.[1]
