[edit] Playing career

Bjarmann played for Lillestrøm SK throughout his professional career, except from a short loan period in Austrian football when he teamed up alongside compatriot Geir Frigård. His 306 Norwegian Premier League matches is a Lillestøm club record; so are his 564 games in all competitions ^[1] too.

He was never capped for Norway.

Bjarmann was a rough but fair centre back. He won the Kniksen award as defender of the year in 2001. Bjarmann retired after the 2003 season, but made some appearances in the lower leagues, mostly for the B and C teams of Lillestrøm SK.

In late 2007 it was announced that he will play occasionally for Skedsmo FK in the 2008 season.^[2]

[edit] Outside football

Off the field he worked for some time as a commentator in NRK's football show, "4-4-2". Autumn 2005, Bjarmann was hired as sport director in FC Lyn Oslo.
