He came to Ham-Kam from Lyn in front of the 2002 season and made his debut against Ørn-Horten 14 April 2002. When Ham-Kam were promoted in 2003, it became the third club Espen Haug earned promotion to Tippeligaen with.

In the middle of the 2006 season, he went to Hønefoss. Espen Haug was appointed coach in Drøbak/Frogn after the coach and athletic director Håvard Lunde resigned as head coach for the club in 2007 season. In the 2009 season had a tough start, and Drøbak/Frogn was positioned at the bottom half of the Second Division table. Drøbak/Frogn's fans were not happy with the development of the team and asked the board for reaction. The chairman, Arild Dregelid, went out in the media and said Espen Haug had the boards confidence, and that he would continue as head coach. But when the poor results continued, Espen Haug was exempt from his duties as head coach for the team.
