Club career
Sola
Born in Sola, Rogaland, Norway, Sebulonsen started playing football for hometown club Sola FK as a 13-year-old.[1][4] After progressing through the youth teams of the club, he made his senior debut on 24 September 2016, aged 16, in a Norwegian Second Division match against Florø.[5] On 1 July 2017, he scored his first goal at senior level, contributing to a 4–1 away victory against Express in the Norwegian Third Division.[6] At the end of his tenure at the club, Sebulonsen had scored 18 goals in 67 appearances for Sola.[1]
Viking
On 12 December 2019, Sebulonsen signed a two-year contract with Eliteserien club Viking.[7] On 21 June 2020, he made his league debut for the club in a 3–0 loss against Brann, replacing Johnny Furdal in the 68th minute.[8] On 29 November, he scored his first goal for the club, opening the score with a header in the 20th minute, helping Viking to a comfortable 4–1 victory against Start.[9][10]
On 11 May 2021, his contract was extended for two more years, keeping him at Viking until December 2023.[11] The next day, he was loaned out to fellow Eliteserien club Mjøndalen.[12] There he made four appearances, putting in impressive performances, including one against his parent club Viking, where he provided an assist.[13] On 9 June 2021, Viking recalled him from his loan.[14] He scored 11 goals in 67 appearances during his time at Viking.[1]
Brøndby
On 14 July 2022, Danish Superliga club Brøndby announced the signing of Sebulonsen on a four-year contract.[15] He made his debut on 17 July, starting at right-back in a 1–0 league win over AGF.[16] His European debut came four days later in a 1–1 draw in the UEFA Conference League qualifier against Polish side Pogoń Szczecin.[17] He initially established himself as the club's first-choice right-back, but was later used more frequently as a substitute before regaining more regular involvement during the championship round, although not consistently as a starter. Brøndby finished fifth overall and failed to qualify for European competition the following season.
Sebulonsen did not establish himself as a regular starter during the 2023–24 season either, and was mainly a backup to Sean Klaiber.[18] Brøndby entered the final matchday of the Danish Superliga in first place, but a 3–2 defeat against AGF ended their title hopes. Sebulonsen scored the temporary 2–2 equaliser in the 64th minute. At the same time, rivals Midtjylland drew 3–3 with Silkeborg, meaning a draw would have been sufficient for Brøndby to secure the championship.[19]
In his third season at the club, Sebulonsen established himself as a regular starter, primarily as a right midfielder and right wing-back.[20] Brøndby finished as runners-up and entered the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, eliminating Llapi before being knocked out by Legia Warsaw in the third qualifying round.[21][22] They ultimately placed third in the league, while Sebulonsen made 38 appearances and scored twice in all competitions.[23] He left the club with three goals in 77 appearances.[24]
1. FC Köln
On 18 July 2025, Sebulonsen signed a three-year contract with Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln.[25]
International career
Sebulonsen represented the Norway national under-21 team and was part of the squad that qualified for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He was included in Norway's tournament squad, appearing in all three group matches as the team finished bottom of their group.[26][27]
On 12 October 2025, Sebulonsen received his first call-up to the Norway national team after being added to the squad by national team coach Ståle Solbakken for an upcoming friendly against New Zealand.[28][29] He made his senior international debut in that match on 14 October 2025, a 1–1 draw in Oslo, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute for Marcus Holmgren Pedersen.[30]
