He was a part of Bærumsløkka's youth setup before joining Stabæk. Graduating through the academy, he signed a professional contract with Stabæk in 2019. He played as a winger at the time. [2] After being promoted to the senior squad in the winter of 2020, he was loaned out to Notodden in the fall.[3][4] In 2021 he was loaned out to second-tier club Strømmen IF.[5]
In 2022 he was on trial at Bryne FK,[6] but instead joined Strømmen permanently. He was then signed by Arendal Fotball in 2023, and regained motivation he had lost during the Stabæk years. He was also repurposed from winger to left back. The Eliteserien club Sandefjord Fotball decided to buy the third-tier player ahead of the 2024 season, and he immediately established himself as a starting player.[5][7]
