When he was 16 years old he began playing for the German fift-tier club Lichterfelder FC. He played half a season as a junior for the club, before he as the youngest player (17) was promoted to the first team, were he played for four years.

Strømsgodset

In November 2009, Lars-Cristopher was on trial for the Norwegian club Strømsgodset, and impressed the coach and sports director enough to get a three-year contract.[1] His first months in the club was spent playing at the reserve team, until he got a few chances on the first team as a left back. In the summer of 2010, he did a couple of strong performances in a row, and was highly praised by the coach and the fans. He's proving to be a huge talent, and is currently a regular in Strømsgodset's team.

He has also been on trial for the Norwegian club Rosenborg BK and the German clubs: Hamburger SV and Eintracht Braunschweig.

International career

In November 2011 he was called up in the Norway squad, for their meeting with Wales as a replacement for Tom Høgli.[2]
