Career
Born in Kristiansand,[1] he came up through the academy of IK Start where he made his senior debut in the 2022 1. divisjon.[2] In October 2023 he was selected for international duty for the first time,[3] making his debut for Norway U20, even scoring 2 goals in 3 matches.[2]
Ahead of the 2024 season, Fredrikstad FK placed bids on the player, which were however rejected by Start.[4] In the summer of 2024, Gregersen chose to leave Start and signed a long-term contract with Sarpsborg 08.[5] He made his debut in the Eliteserien in August 2024 against Bodø/Glimt, ending in a 6–0 loss.[2] In the same year, he was sidelined by an ankle injury.[6]
He was not quite in contention for a starting place at S08, and in 2025 he was therefore loaned out to second-tier club Aalesunds FK. The loan lasted from April to June.[7] After the loan ended, Gregersen went on a new loan (with an option to buy) to Bryne FK, who had previously wanted the player's signature.[8] With Bryne he suffered relegation from the 2025 Eliteserien, succumbing to his previous club Aalesund in a playoff.[9] Another loan followed, at Egersunds IK, lasting from April to July 2026.[10]
