He signed for German club Bayer 04 Leverkusen at the age of 15, where he played one match for the first team.
Olsen also represented Norway in the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship, before retiring from professional football in 1992.
[2][3] In an interview with the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten in 2006, he was asked if he regretted moving to Germany at the age of 15, but Olsen responded that even though he only played one match for the Bayer Leverkusen he would still do the same thing if he had the chance to go back and undo it.
