Career
He grew up in Kvelde and started his youth career there, continuing in Nanset IF. In 2020 he moved on to the U16 team of the region's largest team, Sandefjord Fotball.[2]
He appeared on the bench of the senior team for the first time in 2022,[3] and his debut came in April 2024, starting the match against Lillestrøm.[4]
On 19 October 2024, his would-be first Eliteserien goal against Molde was disallowed,[5] but on 27 October he scored his first Eliteserien goal as Sandefjord recorded a crucial 2–1 victory. He celebrated with a somersault.[6][7] He was also selected for Norway's youth national team.[8]
At the end of 2024, CIES found Gjone to be the #20 play-building centre-back among teenage players in Europe.[9] In early 2025, TV 2 named Gjone among the ten best teenagers of Eliteserien.[10]
