Career

Club career

Growing up in Årvoll IL, he also made his senior debut on the fifth tier in 2014 before joining Vålerenga's youth setup. He did not secure a senior contract here, and instead joined second-tier KFUM. After impressing here and representing Norway as a youth and U21 international, he transferred to a first-tier team in 2020, Mjøndalen.[2]

On 5 February 2022, Larsen signed a 3.5-year contract with Russian Premier League club Nizhny Novgorod.[3] On 7 March 2022, FIFA announced that, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, foreign players in Russia would be able to unilaterally suspend their contracts with their clubs until 30 June 2022 and sign with a club outside of Russia until the same date.[4] On 16 March 2022, Larsen suspended his contract with Nizhny Novgorod under this rule.[5] On 19 March 2022, Larsen signed with BK Häcken in Sweden until 30 June 2022.[6]
