Martin Sjølstad

Martin André Sjølstad (born 9 July 2000) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a left-back for Danish Superliga club Randers FC.

Career He moved from Drøbak-Frogn IL to Follo FK as a child, making his senior debut for Follo in the 2017 Second Division. Follo were relegated, and Sjølstad was a regular in the Third Division in 2018 and 2019. He went on trial with Odd in 2018 and Vålerenga in 2019.

He did not sign for a new team in early 2020, but competitive football was postponed. Before the belatede start of the 2020 First Division, Sjølstad was signed by Strømmen.

After the 2021 season, Sjølstad was signed by Eliteserien club Kristiansund who wanted his energy and staying power on the wing back. He made his Eliteserien debut in the second round against Sarpsborg 08, but had only played two matches when Kristiansund decided to loan Sjølstad out to Kongsvinger in the summer.

At the end of 2022, there was a possibility that Kristiansund were relegated and Kongsvinger promoted. Only the first thing happened, and Sjølstad wanted to fight for a place in the team as he returned to Kristiansund, but in February 2023 he was sold to another First Division team Sogndal. He was among Sogndal's most stable players.

On 1 September 2025, the Danish Superliga club Randers FC confirmed that they had signed a pre-contract with Sjølstad, valid from 2026, as his contract with Sogndal expired on 31 December 2025. Sjølstad signed an agreement until June 2028.
