Start sign Lillestrøm striker on loan

Start have signed a loan deal with Lillestrøm striker Henrik Langaas Skogvold. Skogvold will play for Start going forward.

What happened?

Start got the chance to sign Skogvold from Lillestrøm through a national loan agreement. This makes it possible for clubs to loan players under 22 years old from Eliteserien and OBOS-ligaen.

Why is this important for Start?

This is a good opportunity for Start to get a new player with potential. Skogvold is only 18 years old and has already shown himself to be a promising player.

What comes next?

Start play against Bryne this weekend, and Skogvold can help determine the length of the loan. Through the loan agreement, the duration of the loan is very flexible.

Start are currently in 16th place in Eliteserien with 2 points and a goal difference of -4. Their next match is against Kristiansund BK on July 26, 2026.
