He started his career in Tistedalens TIF, but went on to larger club Fredrikstad FK.[1] He was the youngest squad member for Norway in the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship.[2]

After the 1990 season he was bought by SK Brann, but after a few months he returned to Fredrikstad.[3] However, Fredrikstad had already secured a replacement for Hagen, and so Hagen was loaned out to Kvik Halden FK.[4][5] Already in April 1991 he returned to Fredrikstad,[6] but in July 1991 he left again.[1] Before the 1992 season he joined Sogndal IL,[7] and played in the Norwegian Premier League, but the team was relegated.[8] After the 1993 season he was replaced with Andre Ulla,[9] and returned to Tistedalen.[10] He then faded into football obscurity.
