And the Norwegian has now penned a deal with second-tier outfit Ranheim.
Speaking about signing for the club, he said: “I’m always excited when I come to a new club.
“I think it’s healthy that my stomach tingles a little.”
Ranheim’s kit colours are blue and white – the same as Pedersen’s former side Blackburn.
And he is excited to be donning them once more – 10 years on from leaving the Lancashire side.
He added: “The club is blue and white, something I have enjoyed before, so I hope this adventure will be just as good an experience.”
Pedersen enjoyed nine years at Blackburn from 2004 to 2013.
He made 348 appearances for Rovers, contributing 47 goals and 66 assists.
He left the Premier League to join Turkish side Karabukspor for one season, before returning to his home country and signing with Rosenborg.
Pedersen began a four-year spell with Norwegian side Tromso in 2019, followed by stints at fellow domestic clubs Alta and Asane.
He has played 666 club games in his career and also racked up 83 caps for Norway – the last of which came in 2014.
