Sverre Nypan began attracting interest from many top clubs in 2022, when he became the youngest player ever to represent Rosenborg at 15 years and 322 days.
On 13 May 2023, Nypan scored his first goal for Rosenborg against Bodø/Glimt in the Eliteserien, making him the youngest ever goalscorer in the league, aged 16 years and 145 days.
