Career

Sandberg came through the youth ranks of Lillestrøm, and was a prolific youth international for Norway. Following a loan to Skeid, Sandberg missed the entire 2020 season due to injury. He was then on loan with Jerv in 2021 before joining the club permanently in 2022. In his three years at Jerv, he experienced promotion from the 2021 1. divisjon, and then relegation from the 2022 Eliteserien and the 2023 1. divisjon.[1][2][3] Ahead of the 2024 season, Sandberg moved abroad for the first time, to Icelandic club Íþróttabandalag Akraness.[4]
