Runar Robinsønn Norheim (born 14 February 2005) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Tromsø.
Club career
Norheim joined Tromsø in 2020, and was integrated into the first team, making his debut the same year.[3] In doing so, he became the youngest Tromsø player ever.[4] In May 2022, he scored a hat-trick in an 8–0 Norwegian Cup win against Ishavsbyen.[5]
He signed a contract extension with Tromsø in September 2022, running through to 2024.[3] In the same month, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2005 worldwide.[6]
International career
Norheim played his first international game for Norway with their U16 team in October 2021.[7]
In 2024, after the Norwegian Under-19 team qualified for the UEFA Under-19 Euro 2024, Tromsø refused to let Norheim play in the tournament, as it clashed with several of their games at the same time.[8]
