Marius Lode

Marius Lode won the Eliteserien three times with FK Bodø/Glimt, in 2020, 2021 and 2023, and the Norwegian Cup in the same three seasons. He first arrived at the club in 2017, when it won the First Division and earned promotion to the top flight. Under that side he also played in the UEFA Champions League, the Europa League and the Europa Conference League.

His route there was not straightforward. Lode made his senior debut for Bryne FK in 2012 and played once for the Norway under-21 side the following year. In 2015 he received a 10-month ban from professional football for a doping offence involving methylphenidate, better known as Ritalin. He returned to play in 2016 and moved to Bodø/Glimt a year later.

In January 2022 he left for FC Schalke 04 in the German 2. Bundesliga. He made six appearances, and in August the club and player ended the contract by mutual consent. Lode went back to Bodø/Glimt on a free transfer on 31 August 2022 and stayed until March 2024.

His only senior international appearances so far came in 2021. He made his debut for Norway on 24 March that year in a World Cup qualifier against Gibraltar and earned two caps in total.

On 27 March 2024 he signed a three-year contract with BK Häcken of the Swedish Allsvenskan.
