Aberdeen Sign Norwegian Keeper Bråtveit
Aberdeen’s fourth signing of the January transfer window is Norwegian international goalkeeper Per Kristian Bråtveit. The 29-year-old joins the Dons on an initial 18-month contract, subject to visa formalities and international clearance. Standing at 6ft 2in, Bråtveit will provide competition for Dimitar Mitov following an ankle injury sustained in training by Nick Suman, which is expected to keep him sidelined for an extended period. Dons Sporting Director Lutz Pfannenstiel said: “When we learned the extent of Nick’s injury, we moved quickly to sign Per Kristian, whose contract with Strømsgodset had come to an end last month. “He is an experienced goalkeeper, having played extensively across several strong leagues and clubs, and he also has senior international experience with Norway. “He will provide real competition within the goalkeeping department as we continue to strengthen the squad.” Bråtveit came through the ranks at his hometown club FK Haugesund, making his senior debut in June 2014 at the age of 18. He went on to make almost 125 appearances for the Seagulls before moving to Swedish side Djurgårdens IF, where he spent two seasons and was part of the squad that won the 2019 Allsvenskan title. Around this time, he made his senior debut for Norwegian National Team, having previously represented his country at youth level. He played the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 UEFA Nations League draw with Austria in Vienna. The goalkeeper later had a short-term loan spell with Dutch side FC Groningen during the Norwegian off-season, before spending the 2021–22 season on loan at Nîmes in France. Further spells followed with Vålerenga, Aarhus GF in Denmark and Odds BK, before he spent the last two seasons as first-choice goalkeeper at Strømsgodset. Having sealed his move to the North-east, Per spoke with RedTV. “It feels really good to be here”, said Per. “When Aberdeen made contact it was an easy decision for me to make. I had finished my time in Norway, and I want to do something different, and Aberdeen is such a big club it felt like a great opportunity. “I’m to get to know the league and Scottish football in general. I’ve played in a lot of countries which have given me a lot of experience, but I am excited to call Aberdeen home now.”
