**Kristian Eriksen** (born 18 July 1995) is a Norwegian professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays as a [midfielder](/source/Midfielder) for [Eliteserien](/source/Eliteserien) club [Brann](/source/SK_Brann).

## Career

He hails from [Hamar](/source/Hamar).[2] Eriksen played youth football for [Vang FL](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vang_FL&action=edit&redlink=1) before playing for the U17 and U20 teams of [Hamkam](/source/Hamkam). He made his senior debut in the [2014 1. divisjon](/source/2014_1._divisjon) against Nest-Sotra, and played most of the games in 2014, but with fewer games and no league goals in 2015 he was deemed surplus to requirements. In 2016 he moved on to [Brumunddal](/source/Brumunddal_Fotball) and in 2018 to [Elverum](/source/Elverum_Fotball).[3]

Elverum's [2020 3. divisjon](/source/2020_3._divisjon) was postponed and later cancelled because of the [COVID-19 pandemic in Norway](/source/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Norway). Elverum was allowed to train, but without player contact. Eriksen's career having hit a dead end, he sent a text message to Hamkam, asking to train with the [1. divisjon](/source/1._divisjon) team. "I have always been 100% and am more than willing to bleed for the childhood club", he wrote.[2] The director of sports [Espen Olsen](/source/Espen_Olsen) received "thousands" of inquiries from players wanting to play on the Norwegian second tier, and left most of them unanswered, but decided to give the chance to this one former Hamkam player.[4] While not impressing from his first training session, Eriksen underwent a rigorous individual training programme.[2] Eriksen was eventually signed in September 2020, his contract only spanning the remainder of 2020.[5][6] The season being postponed, Eriksen signed in time to play 15 league games.[3]

His contract was renewed for 2021, and in the summer he had become the club's top goalscorer from midfield position, as Hamkam led the table.[4] In October he reached double digits.[3] Hamkam eventually won promotion.

His contract offer in 2021 entailed being fully professional. However, he chose to stay on a part-time basis in his former job as a children- and youth worker in Vestenga kindergarten. Eriksen dedicates goals to his deceased grandmother and father. His father died in a car accident when Kristian Eriksen was 18 years old. His great uncle Knut "Kula" Eriksen played for HamKam from 1958 to 1969, and is the club's all-time top goalscorer.[2][7]
