Career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Ørjasæter grew up in Oslo. While a youth player in Lyn, he initially quit football as a child and would rather hang out and do shenanigans with friends.[2] He did return to football with a stint in Korsvoll and another in Lyn's boys-16 team,[3] but in the autumn of 2019 his family uprooted and moved to rural Stryn for his father's work. With there being few leisure activities for Ørjasæter in Stryn, he joined Stryn TIL. Two years later, he joined their senior team in 4. divisjon and played as a regular. According to Håvard Flo, he started becoming noticed in the district as "an artist" on the field.[2]

Sogndal

[edit]

Ørjasæter was signed by regional powerhouse Sogndal ahead of the 2022 season, and ended up playing most of the games. In 2023 he became a dominant player, receiving his first international callup, for Norway U21.[2] A summer transfer to SK Brann was rumoured, and Ørjasæter acquired Jim Solbakken as his agent.[4] He also improved his professionalism off the field, regarding food and sleep.[5]

Sarpsborg 08

[edit]

At the start of the 2024 season, Ørjasæter signed for Eliteserien side Sarpsborg 08.[6]
