Club career[edit]
Bragstad came through the youth ranks at Rosenborg before making his senior debut in the 1989 season. He scored 26 goals in 194 matches for them. In 2000, he joined English team Derby.[1] Playing just 12 league matches, and scoring twice in a League Cup tie against West Bromwich Albion,[2] he failed to make a significant impact at the club and went on loan to Birmingham where he would only play three matches the following season. He eventually departed Derby halfway through the 2002–03 season.[3] He spent the rest of his career in Austria with Bregenz before retiring in the summer of 2004.
