Career

Helland came through the ranks at Rosenborg before the 2009-season of the Norwegian Premier league, when he signed a three year professional contract with the club. He had been part of the youth setup at Rosenborg since the summer in 2006 and made his debut for their B team against Molde FK right after he transferred. During the 2007 season he received the captains armband for their B team after impressive displays. He got his first minutes for the first team squad in pre-season 2008 in a friendly against FK Bodø-Glimt as a central defender. Although he plays best as a winger, Helland can play in various positions in the midfield and defence.

He left Rosenborg when his contract was not renewed on August 2011. He won the 2012 Norwegian Football Cup With IL Hødd, as the first team in fifteen years to win from a lower division. In July 2013 he signed a contract with Rosenborg, that originally started as of January 1, 2014, after his contract would expire. But on 10 July 2013 Rosenborg and Hødd agreed on a deal in the summer transfer window. He joined Rosenborg on 26 July 2013.
