Club career

Børven was born in Øystese,[2] where he also grew up but moved to Skien in 2007 to begin at elite sports high school in Telemark and play for Odd Grenland, which has a partnership with the school. He distinguished himself as a prolific goalscorer, and scored eight goals in one reserve match.

Børven made his league debut away to against Brann on 28 September 2009, where he scored one goal and had one assist. In 2010, his first full season as a member of Odd Grenland's first team, he scored eight goals in the Norwegian Premier League, including four goals in Odd's 5–0 win against Sandefjord on 26 September 2010.

Odd Grenland wanted to sell Børven ahead of the 2012 season due to economic difficulties, and made an agreement with Aalesund on a transfer for Børven. Børven however, did not want to move to Aalesund and rejected their offer.[3] After scoring eight goals for Odd Grenland in the 2012 season, Børven signed a 4+1⁄2-year contract with Vålerenga on 17 August 2012. He scored a total of 24 goals in 63 matches for Odd Grenland in Tippeligaen.[4]
