He played for Molde, making his senior debut in 1948. His brothers Odd, Bjørn and Tore also played for the club.

He played one match for Molde in Norwegian Main League against Sandefjord on 28 July 1957, before he moved to Larvik. In Larvik he had gotten a new job and started to play for Larvik Turn, where he played the rest of his active career.^[1]

In 1969, Legernes moved to Asker and became a coach of Stabæk (from 1970 to 1972 and 1982), Asker and Jevnaker (1984–1985).
