Ken Remi Stefan Strandberg (born 25 July 1990) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a defender for FC Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League. Hailing from Lyngdal, Strandberg started his senior career for Mandalskameratene before he moved to Vålerenga in 2009. After three seasons with the Oslo-based club, he joined Rosenborg ahead of the 2012 season.

Strandberg has represented Norway from under-15 to senior level, and was the captain of the under-21 team that got a bronze medal in the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. He was also picked for team of the tournament, with the likes of; David de Gea, Alberto Moreno, Marc Bartra, Asier Illarramendi, Isco, Koke, Thiago Alcântara, Marco Verratti, Álvaro Morata, Fabio Borini, Luuk de Jong.

Club career

Strandberg was born in Lyngdal[1] and played for Lyngdal IL until he moved to Mandalskameratene in 2006[2] where he made his debut for the senior team at the age of 15. He played three seasons for Mandalskameratene,[3] and made eight appearances in the First Division when the club had a spell in the second-tier league in 2007.[1]

Strandberg signed a four-year contract with the Tippeligaen side Vålerenga in January 2009.[2] He was loaned out to Bryne FK in July 2009, as a replacement for the injured Christian Gauseth.[3] Strandberg played four matches for the First Division side during the summer, before he returned to Vålerenga. He made his Tippeligaen-debut on 12 September 2009 when he replaced Mohammed Fellah 11 minutes before full-time in the match against Fredrikstad.[4] He has previously had trials with clubs such as; Derby, Portsmouth and Stuttgart.[5] Vålerenga sold Strandberg, who had one year left of his contract, to their rivals Rosenborg ahead of the 2012 season.[6]

In June 2014, Strandberg was part of a highly controversial "personal strike" against the club[7] Leading football pundits called Strandberg's behavior for an outrage and comical[8] and there were calls to release him from the contract.[9] Strandberg refused to comment the episode for personal reasons. It later turned out that the "strike" was due to fatal illness to a close family member.

International career

Strandberg first represented his country at under-15 level, where he played two matches in 2005. The following year, he played three matches for the under-16 team. He scored one goal in the matches for the under-18 team in 2008, before he played four matches for the under-19 team the next year.[10] He made his debut for the under-21 team when he replaced Harmeet Singh after 78 minutes in the match against Hungary U21 on 28 May 2010.[11] He later became a regular on the under-21 team, and was the captain of the team that qualified for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship.[12]

Strandberg was called up for the Norwegian squad for the 2012 King's Cup, but had to withdrew due to an injury and was replaced by Thomas Drage.[13] Strandberg was also called up for senior squad for the friendly matches against South Africa and Zambia in January 2013, but had to withdrew from the squad due to a surgery in the hip.[14]
