Jakob Glesnes (born 25 March 1994) is a Norwegian football defender who currently plays for Tippeligaen side Strømsgodset.

Career

He hails from Steinsland in Sund and started his career in local Skogsvåg IL. In 2010, he started playing regular senior football as he transferred to Hald. After half a season he went on to Løv-Ham,[1][2] which was soon merged to form FK Fyllingsdalen. He stayed with Fyllingsdalen until the summer of 2015, when he stepped up one tier to First Division club Åsane.[3]

Glesnes had been on trial with multiple clubs domestic and abroad, including Liverpool FC, FC København, Brann, Sogndal, Hønefoss,[4] Lillestrøm and Nest-Sotra.[5][6] In 2016, he finally joined a first-tier club, Sarpsborg 08, and made his first-tier debut in March 2016 against Haugesund.
