About Anders Jenssen
Born 1993. Anders Jenssen is a Norwegian association football player.
Tromsdalen As the 2014 season drew to a close, Finnsnes announced that Jenssen had signed an extension with the club. However, in early 2015, news broke that no deal had been signed and that Jenssen was training with Tromsdalen. Jenssen confirmed that he wanted to sign with Tromsdalen, and that he didn't expect there to be any problem signing for them. On 11 February 2015, Tromsdalen announced that Jenssen had signed on for them, and that the situation with Finnsnes had been resolved.
His first two seasons at Tromsdalen were spent playing in the Norwegian Second Division. Jenssen's first goal for the club was the winning goal in a 2–1 win against Lyn in June 2015. The 2016 season ended with promotion for Tromsdalen, ahead of Jenssens former club Finnsnes. After the promotion, Jenssen played his first season in the Norwegian First Division in 2017, ending the season with twenty-three games and one goal in the league.
Tromsø After an impressive season for Tromsdalen, Eliteserien side Tromsø signed Jenssen ahead of the 2019 season. Originally Jenssen signed a one year contract with the club, but in October he signed a two-year extension with the club. Jenssen played nineteen games that season, which ended with relegation for Tromsø. His first goal came against Kristiansund in a 5–0 win. After the relegation, head coach Simo Valakari was sacked, and Gaute Helstrup was signed as the new head coach, reuniting Jenssen with his former coach from Tromsdalen. After being promoted back to the Eliteserien after only one season Jenssen played most of the matches for Tromsø in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons. In 2024, Jenssen played in all four of Tromsø's UEFA Conference League qualifying games, starting three of them. Ahead of the last game of the 2025 season, Jenssen announced that he was retiring from football, and that the game would be his last. Jenssen started on the bench, but was subbed on with half an hour to play, and was given the captain's armband from Ruben Yttergård Jenssen for his final minutes.
Personal life While playing football in the lower divisions, Jenssen studied to become a Siviløkonom. After completing his degree he combined playing for Tromsdalen with working at Ernst & Young, but after signing for Tromsø he left to focus on his football career.
