Marius Alm (born 3 December 1997) is a footballer who plays as a centre-back for Skreia IL. He played over 100 games in the Norwegian First Division as well as briefly in the Eliteserien.

Career

Alm grew up on a farm in Moen, Innlandet.[1] Having started as a child in Moen SK, he continued playing for children's teams in Gran IL,[2] where he then made his senior debut in the Fourth Division in 2013.[3] He then moved to Toten, attending Lena Upper Secondary School,[4] and joined Raufoss IL in 2015, where his first senior match was a friendly in February 2015.[2] He made his league debut in June 2015, and was a regular player from 2017.[3][5]

Following many years in Raufoss, his contract expired in the summer of 2021. Alm wanted to chase opportunities elsewhere, sold his apartment in Gjøvik and was released by the club.[6] Some weeks passed, but he was eventually picked up by KFUM and took part in the latter half of the 2021 1. divisjon in addition to playoff matches.[7]

Hunting a new club in 2022, Alm trained with Gjøvik-Lyn and was described as being more or less ready to sign. However, he sat out the transfer deadline. [8] During the 2022 Kristiansund BK season, the team experienced injury to several central defenders. Due to this, Alm was signed on a short-term contract in May 2022.[9] On 16 May, Alm made his Eliteserien debut at the age of 24.[10] He was however let go when some of the other centre-backs returned from injury. Alm remained in Møre as he signed for IL Hødd.[11][12]

Ahead of the 2023 season, Alm trained with Raufoss again, but took another season for Hødd as that team had achieved promotion to the First Division.[12][13] A year later, Alm finally reunited with Raufoss.[4] In 2025 he stepped down to the Fourth Division with Skreia IL.[14]

His style of play was marked by his tall stature, 1.97 metres.[15] He modelled his play after Giorgio Chiellini and Alessandro Nesta.[16]
