[edit] Career

Bengt Sæterners had short stints in boths Viking and Odd Grenland until his career boosted in Bodø/Glimt. He was the club's top scorer in a number of seasons before he was sold to the Jupiler League club Club Brugge. His stay in Belgium was ruined by multiple injuries, and he decided to return to Norway in the of summer 2004. Despite the general public believed that he would transfer to the champions Rosenborg, Bengt chose SK Brann instead. He made an instant impact in Bergen by demonstrating great goal scoring abilities clearly proven in the 2004 cupfinal, when he scored 3 goals. After a great 2004 season, the 2005 and the beginning of the 2006 season was a disappointment, mainly due to a long lasting injury. Sæternes never managed to copy the success from his first season in Brann.
