My journey started in Bryne, but it was in Molde where I truly began to blossom as a professional footballer. Joining Molde FK at the age of 16 was a pivotal moment in my career. It was a chance to test myself at a higher level, to learn from experienced professionals, and to prove that I could make an impact.

Finding My Feet: The Early Days in Molde
It wasn’t all plain sailing at first. Adapting to a new city, new teammates, and a new style of play took time. I was eager to prove myself, but I knew that patience and hard work were key. Ole Gunnar Solskjær, then manager of Molde, played a crucial role in my development. He understood my strengths – my speed, my power, my eye for goal – and he worked closely with me to refine my technique and tactical awareness.
