Club career Gulsvik was born in Flå and began his career with local side Flå before he transferred to Spanish club UD Las Palmas. Accompanied by his mother and sister, Gulsvik stayed in Spain for four years, playing for Las Palmas and CD Maspalomas. He signed a three-year contract with Odd Grenland in 2007, then in the Tippeligaen, and was considered by the club to be one of their more promising players. He played for Odd's junior side until the club promoted Gulsvik to the senior team after he impressed his manager while training in Cyprus. He debuted in a 2-1 defeat to Strømsgodset on 9 April 2007. He did, however, continue to play football in the lower leagues, and the last team he played on was the 6th Division club Simensbråten as of 2015. In 2016 he was arrested for being in possession of cocaine at a club in Oslo.

Personal life On 13 January 2024, Gulsvik smuggled 16 kg of cocaine from the Netherlands to Norway. This was due to the fact that he had been struggling with gambling debt for many years. He was investigated by the Norwegian police. Gulsvik has been linked to the criminal underworld and to a known convicted felon and accomplice, Marius Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

International career Gulsvik represented the Norwegian Football Team at the U-16, U-17, U-18, and U-19 levels, scoring his first goal in a 3-1 defeat of Portugal's U-18s.
