Sander Håvik Innvær (born 11 October 2004) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Eliteserien club Tromsø.

Career

Haugesund

Hailing from Bømlo Municipality, he played youth football in Bremnes. He joined Haugesund as a youth player in the fall of 2020.[1]

Innvær made his FKH debut as a substitute in April 2022.[2] His first Eliteserien start came in October 2023 against Strømsgodset, which Haugesund won 1–0.[3] He was given a professional contract in the summer of 2023, lasting until the end of 2025.[4] After the 2023 season, Innvær received an internal award as Talent of the Year. His contract was also prolonged to the end of 2027.[5]

Playing the season opener in 2024 against Odd signalled that Innvær would make his breakthrough that season.[6] His first Eliteserien goal came in September 2024 against Kristiansund, securing one point in a 2–2 draw.[7]

Innvær would also go on to play fifty-seven games and scoring twenty-four times for their second team.[1]

Tromsø

On 28 August 2025, Innvær signed for Tromsø, on a contract that lasted until the end of the 2029 season.[8] Although Innvær played as a winger in Haugesund, his intended position in Tromsø's setup would be as a wing-back.[9]
