Monica Nedgård Isaksen

Monica Nedgård Isaksen (born 8 July 2003) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a forward for SK Brann.

Career Starting her youth career in Fjellhamar FK, she moved to Lyn in 2018 and became a member of their senior squad in 2020. Having made her debut in the 2019 cup, Isaksen did not play a single football match in 2020 and only made her league debut in August 2021.

Isaksen also played for Norway U15 and U16, then after her time away from playing, returned to Norway U19 in 2022.

After the 2024 season she was bought by SK Brann. She reportedly rejected a transfer to a Swedish club. Having scored twice in her debut against Rosenborg, under manager Martin Ho, Isaksen fell out of favour after Leif Gunnar Smerud took over as manager. She won the 2025 Toppserien with Brann, who refused to sell her despite concrete bids from Hammarby and West Ham. Bergensavisen also wrote about interest from Danish and Serie A clubs.

Personal life She is a twin sister with Michael, who played for the youth teams of Lyn and Lillestrøm.

She studied law.
