Hugo Vetlesen is a Norwegian centre midfielder, born on 29 February 2000 (age 26), and now part of the Club Brugge first-team group. He wears the number 10 shirt and is valued at around £6m by Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came in 2022 with Bodø/Glimt, when he scored 16 goals in 29 appearances. For a midfielder, that was a serious return rather than a statistical quirk, and it helped push him beyond the usual category of neat Scandinavian prospects.
Vetlesen later moved into Belgian football with Club Brugge, where he remains involved in 2026-27. He has made 25 appearances and scored six goals across all competitions this season, including seven Champions League appearances. His domestic contribution has also carried into league and play-off football, where he has continued to chip in rather than simply occupy a shirt.
At this stage, Vetlesen’s career is a steady European one: productive at Bodø/Glimt, established at Club Brugge, and still relevant in a side with regular continental commitments.
