He became the top scorer in the 2022 Norwegian First Division with 16 goals, alongside Bård Finne. The contract tying Orban to Stabæk until the end of 2026 was announced on 3 August.

In November 2021, he was scouted by Stabæk's Torgeir Bjarmann and Thomas Finstad in Nigeria during a showcase tournament.
