Career
A son of Viking FK player Frode Hansen, Jakob Segadal Hansen never played for Viking's academy or youth national teams. Instead, he moved up through the youth teams of local Stavanger club FK Vidar where he made his senior debut in 2021.[1][2] He eventually impressed for the fourth-tier team.[3] In February 2024 Hansen was signed by Viking.[4]
He made his Viking debut in the 2024 cup against Varhaug, followed by his Eliteserien debut in July against Kristiansund.[5]
He made his breakthrough in 2025, playing for Norway U20[2] and starting Eliteserien matches. His first Eliteserien goal came against Rosenborg in the summer, followed by a decisive goal in the next match versus Strømsgodset, helping Viking secure the lead in the table.[6]
