Alexander Ødegaard (born 13 September 1980) is a Norwegian former footballer. He played four times for the Norwegian national team, scoring one goal, and has played professionally for Sogndal, Rosenborg, Viking and French club Metz.

Career

[edit]

Ødegaard started his career with Førde IL. He left Førde and joined Sogndal IL in January 2001. Ødegaard was one of the 1980 generation players to break into the first team of Sogndal. After a successful 2004 season where he scored 15 league goals for Sogndal, and made his international debut for Norway, his services were wanted by Brann and Rosenborg.[2] He chose the 13-in-a-row league champions Rosenborg, but his first season was a disappointment, as Rosenborg failed to win the title. After the season, he was sold to Viking in a deal worth €875,000.

On 24 January 2011, he signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with French side Metz in Ligue 2.

In August 2012, Ødegaard returned to Norway, where he signed for his youth club – the Third Division side Førde.[3]
