Ajer has previously played for Start in the Tippeligaen and Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, where he also had a loan spell with Kilmarnock.
Ajer played as a midfielder when he was at Start but when he was at Celtic he switched to a defender, presumably due to his height.
In his younger years he was doing athletics, handball and ice hockey before ending up playing football.
As a youth player he originally started his footballing career at Rælingen FK before joining Lillestrøm SK when he was eleven years old.
He was eventually picked up by IK Start in 2014, which marked the start of his professional footballing career as a result of his parents moving to the city of Kristiansand on the Southern coast of Norway.
While playing professionally for IK Start, he attended Kristiansand Katedralskole Gimle where he was known as a very conscientious and diligent student receiving a total of 18 straight A's. He attributed this to his strong competitive instinct and self-discipline, as well as the support from his teachers and parents and the fact that he values having a good education outside of his footballing career.

Ajer originally planned enrolling at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oslo while simultaneously playing football professionally, but he has since put those plans on hold.
I feel like I've been pretty lucky in my career.
I was developing physically from a very early age: When I was six years old I was two heads taller than the rest of the players on the field.
After a match where we won 30-0, I accounted for 26 goals.
I remember I was refused to play the next matches of the tournament if I could not prove my age.
My mother always had my passport with her when I was playing football matches.
He is also a mentor/ambassador for the Equinor campaign for future athletes, entrepreneurs and talents in Norway called Morgendagens Helter.
He made his professional debut for Start on 19 July 2014 in a 2-1 win against Bodø/Glimt.
At 16 years of age, Ajer captained Start in a 1-1 draw against Lillestrøm on 7 April 2015, becoming the youngest ever footballer to captain a team in the Tippeligaen.
While playing for IK Start he played both as a central midfielder, but was gradually placed as a central defender.
