Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Hailing from Haugesund, Andersen played for Vard Haugesund until he signed for FK Haugesund in 2010.[2] He made his debut for Haugesund in Tippeligaen against Aalesund on 10 April 2011.[1] Andersen played a total of 145 minutes in 10 matches for Haugesund in Tippeligaen in 2011, and scored five goals in three matches in the Norwegian Cup.[2]
Andersen was loaned to his old club Vard Haugesund, playing in the 2. divisjon, until 31 July.[2] On 1 August 2012, he joined Vard Haugesund on a permanent transfer.[3] The club won promotion from the 2012 2. divisjon. He played for second-tier club Hødd from 2013 to 2016.

He made his debut for Molde on 31 March 2019 in a 1–1 away draw against Sarpsborg 08.[1] On 10 April 2019, he scored his first goal for the club on a penalty in Molde's 4–1 win against Vålerenga.[6] On 1 May 2019, he scored his first hat-trick for the club in Molde's 5–0 win against Eide/Omegn in the Norwegian Cup first round.[7] In the second half of the game, he was removed from the pitch with an injury to his Achilles tendon, which possibly rules him out for the rest of the season.[7]
On 25 February 2021, he scored a brace in a 2–0 away win over TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League round of 32,[8] to qualify with his team to the next round.
