Kristoffer Strand Ødven (born 10 February 2002) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder.[2]
Career
Born in Ålesund, Ødven began his career with Herd before moving to professional club Aalesund in 2018.[3] Having made two appearances in the 2020 Eliteserien, he signed a professional contract in January 2021.[4][5] However, after not featuring often in Aalesund's 2021 campaign due to injury, he joined Hødd on loan in March 2022.[6] His spell in Ulsteinvik got off to a good start, with head coach Joakim Dragsten stating that he was "really exciting" and "a very good player".[7][8] This good form continued, and in July 2022, with his loan deal set to expire, he signed a new contract with Aalesund, also extending his deal with Hødd until the end of 2022.[9][10][11]
On his return to Aalesund, he stated that he was "ready for the battle for playing time" ahead of the 2023 season.[12] However, after only making three appearances in the season, he left the club by mutual consent on 3 August 2023.[13][14] He would later go on to join Lokomotiv Oslo, featuring solely for the club's reserve team.
