Early life

Born in Oslo, Robertsen moved to Tromsø at the age of six. Immediately after moving he started playing football for Tromsø at their different youth levels before advancing to the senior squad at the age of sixteen.

Career

Tromsø

After training with Tromsø's senior squad for several months his first game for the club came in October 2020 against HamKam in the 1. divisjon, coming on as a substitute for Eric Kitolano in the additional time. His first professional contract was signed a month later, lasting three years. Despite being injured for almost the entirety of the 2022 season, Robertsen signed a new contract with Tromsø in September 2022, lasting until the end of the 2025 season.
On deadline day in the summer transfer window of 2023 Robertsen signed a loan deal with Mjøndalen. The loan lasted until the end of the season. Robertsen's second loan spell came at the latter half of the 2024 season, this time going to Sogndal.

Hødd

In 2025, as Tromsø entered their mid-season break, Hødd confirmed in late May that Robertsen had signed a month-long loan with the club.
Only days after his loan spell ended, the club confirmed that they had signed him on a permanent deal, with a contract stretching throughout the 2026 season.

International career

Robertsen has appeared for Norway's U16, U17, and U19 team. His only international goal came against Wales U16 in 2020.
