Benjamin Thoresen Faraas

Benjamin Faraas left Norway for Belgium at 17. In August 2023 he moved from Hamarkameratene to Club NXT, Club Brugge's under-23 side.

He had grown up in Flisa and played for the local club, Flisa IL, from 2017 until 2021. That year he joined the HamKam youth setup. He appeared for HamKam 2 in the Norwegian Fourth Division and for the senior squad before the move abroad.

At Club NXT he stayed until January 2025. In 2024 he made 16 appearances for the under-23 team, scoring once and providing one assist. La Libre reported that he left because of a lack of playing time.

On 30 January 2025 he signed a four-year contract with Fredrikstad and made his debut for the club early that year. In the 2025 Eliteserien he has played nine matches and scored once.

His record for Norway's youth teams shows a consistent scoring return. He scored three goals in eight caps for the under-16s and three in nine for the under-17s. He added three more in eight appearances for the under-18s and five in 16 for the under-19s. He has also been capped by the under-20s.
