Career
editHelland came through the ranks at Rosenborg before the 2009 season of the Norwegian top division, when he signed with them a three-year professional contract. He had been part of the youth setup at Rosenborg since summer 2006 and shortly after transfer made his debut with their B team against Molde FK. He continued on B team during the 2007 season and received the captains armband for 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.[2]
He left Rosenborg in August 2011 when his contract was not renewed. With lower division IL Hødd, they won the 2012 Norwegian Football Cup, last done fifteen years earlier.
In July 2013 he signed a contract with Rosenborg, that originally started as of 1 January 2014, after his contract would expire.[3] On 10 July 2013, however, Rosenborg and Hødd agreed on a deal in the summer transfer window. He joined Rosenborg on 26 July 2013.[4] On 20 November 2016, Helland scored a hat-trick as Rosenborg defeated Kongsvinger 4–0 in the 2016 Norwegian Football Cup final.[5]
