His best season in Norway came in 2022, with six goals and three assists in 39 games for Lillestrom.

Despite scoring on the opening day of the season, Dragsnes has not been a first team regular for the side since he joined two seasons ago. He looks set to leave the club with 73 games played, four goals scored and four assists provided.
