Stefan Hagerup

Stefan Hagerup (born 6 April 1994) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Lillestrøm SK. He is best known from his period in Ull/Kisa, where he played every single minute from 2017 through 2023 and scored 5 league goals.

Hagerup hails from Sandsli in Bergen. He played youth football for Løv-Ham, being an outfield player until age 13–14, and continued after Løv-Ham was merged with Fyllingen to form FK Fyllingsdalen. Hagerup made his senior debut for Fyllingsdalen in 2013 and established himself as the first choice in the 2014 2. divisjon. Besides football, he worked in the mail service.

In May 2015, the second-tier club Sogndal IL found themselves without a goalkeeper, as Mathias Dyngeland was injured and Christian Sukke was ill. Sogndal gained permission to sign a goalkeeper outside of the transfer window, and found Hagerup via a former assistant coach who now had a role in Fyllingsdalen. Hagerup played 12 matches, helping Sogndal win the 2015 1. divisjon and promotion to the 2016 Eliteserien. Hagerup never played in the Eliteserien, and was instead loaned out to second-tier club Ull/Kisa between May and July 2016. After the 2017 season was over, Hagerup and Ull/Kisa agreed to a permanent move, initially on a contract spanning two years.

In 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Stefan Hagerup played every single minute for Ull/Kisa in the league. The team reached the Eliteserien playoffs twice, but was relegated from the second to the third tier in 2021. However, he arguably became more known for something other than goalkeeping.

Ahead of the 2019 season, it was reported from Ull/Kisa's pre-season camp that Stefan Hagerup would be Ull/Kisa's free kick taker. A journalist compared his technique to that of Didier Drogba and David Luiz.
