Sigurd Grønli (born 17 October 2000) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Moss.
Career
[edit]Tromsø
[edit]Grønli started his career playing for both Skarp IF and IF Fløya's youth teams.[3] Reaching the age of upper secondary school, Grønli enrolled at the Norwegian School of Elite Sport in Tromsø as well as the academy team of Tromsø IL.[3] In 2017 Grønli signed his first professional contract.[3] His first senior game for the club came in the Norwegian Cup against Skjervøy, where he also scored his first senior goal.[4]
After not playing for Tromsø in the first half of the 2020 season, Grønli was subsequently loaned out to Grorud for the latter half of the season. In his first game, against Sogndal, he also scored his only goal for the Oslo-based club.[5]
After Grønli's contract with Tromsø was terminated, he signed for local club Tromsdalen UIL on a two-year contract.[6] After his first season, he was named "talent of the season" in the 2021 Norwegian Second Division.[7]
First Division clubs
[edit]After one season at Tromsdalen, Grønli signed with 1. divisjon side Bryne on a three-year contract.[8] At the end of Grønli's first season at the club, he was named player of the season by their supporter group "BÆDI".[9] For the latter half of the 2024 season, Grønli was loaned out to Start.[10]
There was no intention of Grønli returning to Bryne, as his contract with Bryne was due to expire.[11] As a free agent, he signed for 1. divisjon side Moss ahead of the 2025 season.[12]
Playing style
[edit]Earlier in his career, Grønli preferred to play as a second striker, but later played as a midfielder.[13]
When he signed for Bryne, he was described as "nimble" and "playful" in his playing style.[14]
