Filip Thorvaldsen (born 15 April 2006) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a forward for Vålerenga.[2]
Personal life
Thorvaldsen came to the Vålerenga academy at the age of 12.[3] He made his senior debut in May 2023, against Råde in the cup, before proceeding to make his league debut in June. He played three cup games of which Vålerenga won all, but the team lost five of the six league games he appeared in,[4] and were relegated from the 2023 Eliteserien.
FK Haugesund had already made a transfer bid for Thorvaldsen before the season,[5] and as the 2023 season came to a close, there were reports of Tromsø IL considering the player.[6] Thorvaldsen however signed a long-term contract in July 2024, tying him to Vålerenga until the end of 2028.[7]
Thorvaldsen got his breakthrough in the 2024 1. divisjon,[8] where he scored his first goal for the team, in a 5–1 thrashing of Moss.[3] He scored another as Vålerenga routed Sandnes Ulf 8–0.[9]
