In 2021 he was loaned out to Arendal most of the season. He later returned on a short-term loan in the summer of 2022 following an injury to Tord Salte.[6] [7]

On 7 August 2023, Hafstad was loaned out to Egersund, for the rest of the 2023 season.[8]

After his contract with Tromsø expired, he signed for PostNord-ligaen side Tromsdalen in early 2024.[1]
