Fredrik Holmé

Fredrik Holmé (born 23 July 2001) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a central defender for Fredrikstad. Born in Oslo, and growing up in Veitvet, Holmé played youth football for Skeid before transferring to the academy of Vålerenga in 2017. In June 2020, Holmé was drafted into Vålerenga's senior squad ahead of the delayed start of the 2020 Eliteserien. He did not reach the first team, and was loaned out to Ull/Kisa in October to play the remainder of the 2020 1. divisjon campaign. In July 2021, he made his Vålerenga debut in the cup match against Lyn, and then his Eliteserien debut against Sandefjord in September. Still not near the first team, Vålerenga chose to sell Holmé to Kongsvinger. For Kongsvinger, he made his debut in a cup game against Viking, held in March 2022. Holmé became gradually more noticed in 2023. In July 2023, he was named Young Player of the Month in the 1. divisjon. He also extended his contract with Kongsvinger until the end of 2026, and bought his first apartment in Kongsvinger. According to Telemark Arbeiderblad, Odd watched Holmé as a replacement for Odin Bjørtuft, and Sarpsborg Arbeiderblad mentioned him as a replacement for Bjørn Inge Utvik in Sarpsborg 08. Ahead of the 2024 season, Kongsvinger rejected a "several million" bid from Haugesund, as well as "several bids" from Fredrikstad.
