Hugo Vetlesen was born on leap day, the 29th of February in the new millennium, 2000, in Belgium. This young midfielder, who has a preference for central positions, plies his trade for Club Brugge, clad in their number 10 jersey. Standing at a balanced 5 feet 8 inches (1.74 metres), he stabilises his midfield manoeuvres with a moderate stature of 11 stones 4 pounds (72 kg). His playing grit also extends to the national stage, representing Norway.
The lad from Belgium didn't jump straight to big clubs, instead, he started his professional football journey as a trainee in OBOS-ligaen, with Stabaek. His January 2017 move saw him developing his craft for over three years; 93 matches and 5 goals in total to be exact. His performances caught the attention of Bodo Glimt of Eliteserien, prompting a transfer amounting to about £430,000.
Vetlesen adapted well to his new club, making 75 first team appearances and scoring 25 goals over the span of his three years at the club. Continuing his upward trajectory, he executed his next big move by joining Club Brugge in Belgium in July 2023. The move cost the Pro League club a neat £6.9 million, a testament to his valued skill set.
At present,Vetlesen is worth around £6 million, according to Transfermarkt. His resolute performances at Club Brugge have continued, where he has totalled 39 first team appearances so far, with a contract set to expire on the 30th of June, 2027.
His versatility has seen him participate in various tournaments besides domestic leagues. This includes Pro League Play-Offs, Nations League, Conference League, Super Cup, and the prestigious Champions League, complementing his stature with vital goals and appearances both off and on the starting roster.
