Christian Kalvenes biography


Christian Kalvenes (born 8 March 1977 in Bergen, Norway) is a Norway soccer who has recently signed a one year contract with Football League Championship side Burnley F.C

Career

Norway

He started his senior career in SK Brann, but played only one match. His breakthrough in the Norwegian Premier League came with Sogndal Fotball. In his time here Kalvenes made 67 appearances scoring 4 goals. In 2003 he returned to SK Brann where he managed to make only 11 appearances with no goals in 3 years.

Dundee United

On 2 August 2006, Kalvenes joined Dundee United for a fee of around £50,000. In his competitive debut for United, Kalvenes scored the second goal in a 2-2 draw against Rangers F.C. at Ibrox Stadium. In August 2007, Kalvenes was "harshly sent off" against Kilmarnock, in a decision which gave Kilmarnock an "undeserved victory." The red card was later overturned. For the season 2007 - 2008, Kalvenes was voted the top left back in Scotland after having an impressive season and proving himself as the tough block in the Utd defence.

In January 2008, it was reported that Kalvenes was likely to leave United at the end of his contract and return to Norway; Following an injury in mid-April, Kalvenes confirmed he had played his last match for the club, with a definite return to Norway at the end of the season so that he could be closer to his family. In his time at Tannadice Park, Kalvenes made 47 appearances scoring 2 goals.

Burnley

On 26 June 2008 Kalvenes signed for Burnley F.C. on a free transfer. His move to Burnley F.C. came as a surprise as it was much anticipated that he would be heading back home to Norway, as stated by the player when he left Dundee Utd at the end of the 2007-2008 season.
