Haugesund signs RB Leipzig talent Norbye

19-year-old Norwegian defender Jonathan Norbye has joined FK Haugesund on a three-year contract from RB Leipzig. The move means Norbye will step down from the Norwegian top division, where he has been playing on loan at Fredrikstad this season.

Norbye, who joined RB Leipzig's academy at age 15, made nine appearances in the Eliteserien this season, five of them from start. He made his Bundesliga debut for Leipzig in spring 2024 and later had loan spells at Arminia Bielefeld's second team and Fredrikstad. The Alta-born defender will be available for Haugesund's cup match this Saturday. catcrossgame.com
