The 25-year-old was able to choose a club from the top shelf and chose the club he was a fan of as a child.
Simen Bolkan Nordli has for HamKam and Aalesund, before he went to Danish Randers ahead of the 2023 season. There he has done his business well, in fact so well that he was named player of the year in the Superliga when last season ended in May. That after delivering 14 goals and twelve assists from his offensive role at the Jutland club.

- It has gone very well in recent years in Denmark and I have really enjoyed it there. I felt that I needed to get out and try something a little different before I eventually came back to Norway. It has been a good year and I have taken it step by step. Now I’m really ready to be able to contribute in Rosenborg.
- On Rosenborg’s website, Nordli says it is a dream come true.
When the 25-year-old was named best player in the Superliga, Randers FC was quick to say it was the first time anyone from the club had received that honor.
The club confirms on its website that the 25-year-old forward has signed a contract that lasts until the end of the 2029 season.
Childhood dream comes true
“This is absolutely incredible. A big dream come true, so I’m very happy,” says Nordli.
“I’ve been a Rosenborg supporter since childhood and always dreamed of playing for the club. This means a lot to me.
Impressive statistics
RBK’s new striker was named player of the year in the Danish Superliga last season after recording 14 goals and 12 assists.
The transfer was made possible through a buyout clause that Rosenborg chose to use, despite the fact that Nordli originally had one year left on his contract with Randers.
Ready for new challenges
“I’ve had good years in Denmark and developed step by step. Now I really feel ready to be able to contribute in Rosenborg, says the versatile attacking player.
Nordli has primarily played as a left winger in Denmark, but is known for his flexibility. He has previous experience from Norwegian football through stays in Aalesund and HamKam.
The transfer marks a significant strengthening of Rosenborg’s offensive for the rest of the season.
