Hailing from
Tynset Municipality, Midtskogen started his career in
Tynset IF and helped the senior team win promotion to the
2016 2. divisjon. In mid-2016 he moved on to
Hamarkameratene on the same tier, finally winning promotion to the
2018 1. divisjon with the
Hamar-based club. Following 3 league goals in 2018 and 2019 each, Midtskogen moved abroad. He spent 2020 with Faroese club
KÍ Klaksvík before starting the 2021 campaign with Irish side
Dundalk. Being the only Norwegian in the Faroese top flight at the time, his stay there as well as in Ireland was marred by little social contact due to the pandemic. In the late summer of 2021, Midtskogen moved to Norwegian third-tier side
Kjelsås. Managing to score double digits in half a season, Ahead of the 2023 season, Midtskogen was bought by
Odd for a minuscule amount. Pundits questioned whether he could make a mark as a relatively old player on the highest Norwegian level. Midtskogen finally made his professional debut two days before his 28th birthday, away against Stabæk. Whilst not scoring during his first two games, he was lauded by pundits, including
TV 2's
Jesper Mathisen, for his physical play both offensively and defensively. His first goal came in June 2023, being the sole goalscorer of the match between Odd and Molde. ==Personal life==
