Club career
After finishing his graduation in Tottenham Hotspur's youth setup, Olsen signed with Valencia CF.[1] He made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2008–09 season, in Segunda División B. Olsen also appeared twice with the main team, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Al Ain FC and scoring twice vs Standard Liege.[2]
After being sparingly used in his third season, Olsen left the Valencians and signed with Odd Grenland BK.[3] On 2 September he made his debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win over FK Haugesund.[4]
On 29 October 2013 Olsen returned to Spain, signing with CD Castellón until 23 December, to get back to fitness after a crucial ligament rupture in Norway.[5] On 13 March of the following year he moved teams and countries again, signing a one-year deal with Fredrikstad FK.[6]
