Andre Hansen

Andre Hansen (born 17 December 1989) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Rosenborg in Eliteserien. He made his International debut for Norway in 2013.

Club Career

He hails from Veitvet, and started his career with Bjerkealliansen. He went from there to Skeid Fotball. In 2007, he was loaned out to Kjelsas Fotball. He was signed by Lillestrom in 2008, but spent the 2008 season on loan back at Skeid. He made his debut in the Norwegian top division against SK Brann in April 2009, conceding three goals. He conceded another three goals in his second game. In late July 2009 he was loaned out to KR Reykjavik. Hansen was named as Goalkeeper Of The Year in Iceland, and selected for the All-Star Team, despite only playing eight matches. He returned to Lillestrom SK before the 2010 season.

As Stefan Logi Magnusson was Henning Berg's preferred goalkeeper at Lillestrom, Hansen primarily played for the reserve team in the Third Division. His contract with the club expired at the end of the 2010 season - and on 8 July 2010 he signed a four-year contract with Odd Grenland, joining the club on 1 January 2011. Hansen stated that he changed club because he had a greater chance to play regularly in the Tippeligaen with Odd. Hansen became Odd's first-choice goalkeeper in his first season with the club, and played all 30 matches.

In the Tippeligaen match against Stromsgodset on 23 May 2012, Hansen was injured as a result of a collision with Peter Kovacs sustaining a fracture of the cheek bone which kept him out of action for three weeks.

Hansen has represented Norway from Under-18 to Under-23 level, and was capped 7 times for the Norwegian under-21 team,.
