Career edit

Early career edit

Hoseth started his career in his local club IL Averøykameratene. In 1999 was he signed by Molde.

Molde edit

In his first season for the club from Romsdal he performed well both in the Tippeligaen and in the Champions League. His breakthrough came when he came in as a substitute and scored two goals against PFC CSKA Moscow in the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League 2nd qualifying round, second leg. He was also a regular in the Norwegian youth national team.

Copenhagen edit

In the summer of 2004 Hoseth was transferred to the Danish team F.C. Copenhagen. He was very popular in Copenhagen, and was named 2004 player of the year at the club, despite playing only four months that calendar year.[1] Because of his homesickness he wanted to go back to Norway and left the club in 2005.

Vålerenga edit

In June 2005 he was signed by Vålerenga from Oslo. He won the 2005 Tippeligaen while at the club.

Second spell at Molde edit

In July 2006 he returned to his old club Molde. Despite the team was relegated to 1. divisjon, Hoseth chose to stay in Molde. He became Tippeligaen champion in 2011, 2012 and 2014. With the club, Hoseth won the Norwegian Cup in 2013 after scoring defining goals both in the semifinal against Lillestrøm and later in the final against Molde's main rivals Rosenborg. Hoseth scored Molde's 3–2 goal in the final which ended 4–2. Hoseth made a total of 364 appearances for Molde, the third-highest number of appearances by any player for the club. With 84 top division goals, Hoseth is Molde's all-time top scorer in Eliteserien.

Later career edit

On 30 July 2014, Hoseth moved to Stabæk, signing a contract for the remainder of the 2014 season.[2][3]

After short stays with Viking and Aalesund through the 2015 season, Hoseth signed a 2-year contract with 2. divisjon side Notodden before 2016.[4] On 16 August 2017 he signed a contract with Kristiansund BK.[5] In the club's first ever season in the top flight, Hoseth helped them stay up and finish seventh on the Eliteserien table. On 10 January Hoseth announced his retirement on Twitter.[6]

International career edit

Hoseth made a total of 37 appearances and scored eleven goals for Norway at youth international level.[7]

Hoseth made his senior debut for Norway on 25 April 2001, as a half-time substitute for Dan Eggen in a 2–1 home friendly win over Bulgaria.[8] His only goal came on his 5th cap, on 24 January 2004, in a 3–1 win over Honduras in Hong Kong. His 22nd and last cap was on 25 September 2009, a 1–1 draw with Iceland in World Cup qualification.[9]
