Knut Walde (born 16 June 1981) is a
footballer who currently plays for Flekkerøy IL. He is the older brother of Arve Walde
.
Career
Walde found success on the highest level in his first season as a senior. He played 23 of 26 league matches for
Adeccoliga club Løv-Ham
. The transfer was made permanent the autumn of 2005.
Løv-Ham
Walde impressed both local media and opponents in the
2006. Despite being one of the smallest team in the league and close to be relegated, Løv-Ham was one of the clubs in the league with the fewest goals scored against them. This was highly attributed to Walde and his partner in the center defense, Kristian Vange. Walde was also made captain
for Løv-Ham before the 2006 seasons. He returned to Løv-Ham on loan again before the 2008-season.
Back in Brann
After the 2006 season, several
Per "Pelle" Nilsson showed himself too expensive for Brann, the club turned their focus to Walde. The parts came to an agreement on 2 July, and so Walde was once again a part of the SK Brann squad.[4]
He did, however, not reach the expectations, and was, once again, loaned out to Løv-Ham the following season.
After the 2009 season, Walde decide to take a break from football to pursuit his studies in physiatrics.[5] He carried out his medical service (turnustjeneste) at Stavanger University Hospital. In the summer of 2010, eight months later, he signed for Second Division team Flekkerøy IL.[6]
