He hails from Frekhaug.[1] He moved to the city to play junior football, and was drafted into Åsane's senior team from their junior team ahead of the 2000 season.[2] He moved to Sogndalsfjøra to study, and was loaned out to local club Kaupanger IL. After half a season there, he retired, but in the spring of 2002 he talked himself into training with Sogndal's B team, and in the summer of 2002 he made his first-team debut in Sogndal.[3] After playing in the 2002 Norwegian Football Cup he also played one 2002 Eliteserien game. He left after the 2004 season and 12 Eliteserien games.[4]

It was stated that Hesjedal became an assistant coach of Kaupanger's women's team.[5] After a couple of seasons in Kvernbit he moved back to Sogn and Stryn in 2008.[6] A comeback in Åsane in 2009 followed,[7] then a transfer to Øystese.[8] He became assistant coach here in 2011.[9] In 2013 he joined Trond Egil Soltvedt in restarting Kvernbit's team, which had previously fallen apart.[10] He coached Kvernbit until mid-2015, when he moved to Stryn.[11] Ahead of the 2020 season he also became head coach of Stryn.
