After playing for Raufoss in the First Division from 2000 to 2003, Storbæk joined the Tippeligaen side HamKam ahead of the 2004 season.{{cite news|url=http://www.h-a.no/Sport/Sport/tabid/355/Default.aspx?articleView=true&ModuleId=175224 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130222185418/http://www.h-a.no/Sport/Sport/tabid/355/Default.aspx?articleView=true&ModuleId=175224 |url-status=dead |archive-date=22 February 2013 |language=no |title=Storbæk klar for Strømsgodset |work=Norwegian News Agency |publisher=Hamar Arbeiderblad |date=27 August 2012 |accessdate=13 September 2012 }}

Half-way through the 2005 season, Vålerenga was looking for a left back and made a {{NOK|3 million}} offer for Storbæk.
