A tall striker, Årst made his professional debut for Tromsø IL on 22 April 1995 against Hamarkameratene at Briskeby stadion. After the 1997 season he was sold to Anderlecht for NOK 13 million. He then moved to K.A.A. Gent in Belgium and ended up as a top goalscorer in 2000 with 30 goals. Then, Standard Liège signed him for NOK 24 million. He returned to Tromsø IL in the summer of 2003 for NOK 5 million.
Årst became the top scorer in the Norwegian Premier League 2005, with 16 goals. After a hat-trick against IK Start on 2 October 2005 Årst was ranked as the top league scorer of all times in Tromsø IL with 51 goals. On 9 July 2007 he transferred to IK Start.
Start went down that season, but as Start won a direct promotion in 2008, Årst did not participate in any games due to a serious injury. The same injury limited him to only two games in the 2009 season.
He announced his retirement in October 2009.[1]
He made a comeback for the club in a friendly match in early 2010. He then signed a contract for the duration of 2010, with possibilities of renewal.
On the 8th of November, 2011, Årst signed a one-year deal with Tromsø IL to start in the upcoming 2012 Norwegian Premier League Season. This will be his 3rd spell at the club.
He made his debut for Norway in a January 2000 friendly match against Iceland and earned 22 caps since, scoring 2 goals.[2]
