'''Ruben Alte''' (born 28 February 2000) is a [Norwegian](/source/Norway) [footballer](/source/footballer) who plays as a midfielder for [Sandefjord](/source/Sandefjord_Fotball), on loan from [Viking](/source/Viking_FK).

==Career==

Alte grew up in [Namsos](/source/Namsos_Municipality) and played youth and—from 2016—senior football for [Namsos IL](/source/Namsos_IL).<ref name=nff>{{NFF|3707964}}</ref> He moved to [Steinkjer FK](/source/Steinkjer_FK) in mid-2018, but failed to get considerable playing time in the [2018 3. divisjon](/source/2018_3._divisjon).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.steinkjer24.no/sport/i/76JBeV/han-er-paa-radaren-til-halve-eliteserien-det-har-gaatt-kjapt|title=Fikk lite spilletid på SFK. Nå er han på radaren til «halve» eliteserien: - Det har gått kjapt|date=8 June 2023|publisher=Steinkjer 24|language=no|access-date=14 March 2025}}</ref> He instead started 2019 in Namsos before moving to the youth team of [Ranheim IL](/source/Ranheim_Fotball) in mid-season.<ref name=nff/> In 2020, the league was postponed until the summer. Alte was then drafted into Ranheim's first team squad.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ranheimfotball.no/nyheter/ny-rekruttspiller-flyttet-opp-i-a-stallen|title=Ny rekruttspiller flyttet opp i A-stallen|last=Eriksen|first=Fredrik R.|date=7 July 2020|publisher=Ranheim IL|language=no|access-date=14 March 2025}}</ref>

Becoming a firm central midfielder in the [1. divisjon](/source/1._divisjon), rumours of a transfer to the highest league arose in the summer of 2023. Ranheim's larger neighbours [Rosenborg BK](/source/Rosenborg_BK) showed interest, and [Kongsvinger IL](/source/Kongsvinger_IL_Toppfotball) even had a bid accepted that was turned down by the player.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.namdalsavisa.no/adressa-eliteserie-bud-pa-ruben-fra-namsos-men-det-er-forelopig-ikke-rbk-som-prover-a-hente-namsosingen/s/5-121-1200278|title=Adressa: Eliteserie-bud på Ruben fra Namsos – men det er ikke RBK som prøver å hente namsosingen|date=10 July 2023|work=Namdalsavisa|language=no|access-date=14 March 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nettavisen.no/sport/rosenborg-forsoker-a-sikre-seg-ranheim-profil/s/5-95-1299207|title=Rosenborg forsøker å sikre seg Ranheim-profil|last=de Wahl|first=Stian André|date=31 August 2023|work=Nettavisen|language=no|access-date=14 March 2025}}</ref> In the end, the sale took place in January 2024 and [Kristiansund BK](/source/Kristiansund_BK) was the club that managed to get his signature.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.adressa.no/sport/fotball/i/gEogP5/ranheim-profilen-er-solgt|title=Ranheim-profilen er solgt|date=29 January 2024|work=Adresseavisen|language=no|access-date=14 March 2025}}</ref>

He made his [Eliteserien](/source/Eliteserien) debut in April 2024, and started 30 of 30 league matches in the [2024 Eliteserien](/source/2024_Eliteserien).<ref name=sw>{{soccerway|ruben-kristensen-alte/661833}}</ref>

In July 2025, he signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with [Viking](/source/Viking_FK),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vikingfotball.no/nyheter/ruben-alte-klar-for-viking|title=Ruben Alte klar for Viking|website=Viking FK|language=no|last=Westergård|first=Silje|date=18 July 2025|access-date=6 February 2026}}</ref> with whom he won the [2025 Eliteserien](/source/2025_Eliteserien).<ref name="NRK1"/>
