He started his youth career in Ørsta IL, making his senior debut in the Fifth Division in 2021. In 2022, he moved on to rivals Volda TI, playing in the Third Division before he was bought by Aalesunds FK in September the same year.[2] Starting out as an academy player,[3] he soon made his cup debut in June 2023 against Byåsen and his Eliteserien debut in July against Odd.[2][4] The transition from the sixth to the first tier in about a year was unusual.[5] He was also called up to his first youth international team, Norway U18.[6]
He was a squad member for the 2023 and 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championships.[7][8] In 2025, Haram and two other AaFK players were called up to the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, but Aalesund manager Kjetil Rekdal refused to allow their participation, citing important league matches.[9] Haram's first U21 call up came in 2025 to a match against Spain U21.[10]
