Lydersen played for IK Start, until he was signed by English club Arsenal in November 1991. However, he was unable to oust first-team regulars Lee Dixon and Nigel Winterburn, and played only 16 games in all competitions during his time at the club.[2]
In February 1994, Lydersen went on loan to his old club IK Start for the 1994 Tippeligaen season and the move was made permanent when his contract was terminated by Arsenal in March 1995. He went on to play for Sturm Graz in Austria and then onto Molde, before retiring at the end of the 1999 Tippeligaen season. He also won 20 caps for Norway, scoring one goal.
