Career

edit

Miljeteig grew up in Aksdal. A late bloomer, he started his senior career in minnows SK Vedavåg while attending upper secondary school in Åkrehamn. The club was relegated from the fourth to the fifth tier. After three seasons in his native Skjold IL, he had a failed stint in Vard in 2010. However, from 2012 to 2015 he was a mainstay in Vard, Haugesund's second best team, and was picked up by FK Haugesund ahead of the 2016 season.[1][2]

He made his Norwegian Premier League debut in March 2016 against Sarpsborg 08, at the relatively late age of 27.[3]

Miljeteig signed with Vard for the 2019 season.[4]

By 2024, Miljeteig had joined fifth-division side Torvastad. He played in their first-round cup tie against Haugesund, in which he scored the second of two penalties leading to the team's upset win.[5]
