He started his career in Valder IL and represented Norway as a youth international.[1][2] He joined IL Hødd ahead of the 1993 season.[3] After good performances, he was signed by Lillestrøm SK. Never breaking through there, he returned to Hødd until he was picked up by Bryne FK in 1999.[2] Struggling with injuries, in 2001 he signed for lowly Randaberg IL, but was again given the chance at Bryne in the summer of 2001.[4]

In 2006 he was player-manager of Klepp IL, but the team was relegated from the 2006 2. divisjon.[5][6] He later featured on the pitch for Valder,[7] Klepp[8] and Kåsen[9] before finally retiring in the end of 2012.[10]

In 2019 he became coach of Bryne's junior team.[11]
