Erling Haaland is a professional footballer who operates as a centre-forward for Manchester City and the Norway national team. He enjoyed a brilliant debut campaign in the Premier League with Man City and is currently one of the best strikers in world football.
Who Are The Parents Of Erling Haaland?
Erling is the youngest child of Gry Marita Braut and Alf-Inge Haaland. He was born in Leeds, England on 21 July 2000. When Erling turned three, Alfie and his wife decided to bring him to their hometown, Bryne in Norway.
Erling Haaland joined Bryne’s youth academy at a very young age with both his parents acting as the supporting pillars behind his football education.
Erling’s father, Alfie Haaland was a former professional footballer who played for Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Manchester City before his retirement in 2013.
Erling’s mother, Gry Marita Braut was an accomplished athlete back in her homeland in Norway. She used to live with Alfie and her children in the United Kingdom before coming back to Norway after her husband’s retirement from playing football.
Erling Haaland’s Football Career So Far
Erling Haaland began his playing career at Bryne before sealing a move to Molde in 2017. Red Bull Salzburg decided to sign him just two years later. Haaland grew as a footballer during his time in Austria and opted to seal a move to Borussia Dortmund in 2020.
After a successful two-year stint at Signal Iduna Park, Manchester City managed to bring him on board in the summer of 2022.
Haaland has since taken the Premier League by storm. As of 27 August 2023, the Norway international has banged in 38 goals and grabbed eight assists in 37 league appearances for Man City (via transfermarkt).
We wish the Haaland family the best for the future.
