https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2026/january/26/signing--harald-tangen/ Attacking midfielder Harald Nilsen Tangen has joined us from Sarpsborg 08. The 25-year-old Norwegian, who has made 130 appearances in his native top flight, arrives on an initial loan which could be made permanent this summer. Director of Football Richard Montague said: “Harald has lots of exciting qualities. “He’s very strong technically with an excellent first touch, an eye for a pass, quick feet and a rapid change of direction which allows him to get out of tight spaces and carry the ball into dangerous areas. “Harald is also very hard-working in the press and he’s been an important player for both Sarpsborg and Viking FF at the top level of Norwegian football. “It’s great to add him to the list of talented players we already have in the attacking midfield position.” Born in Stavanger, Tangen is a product of Viking FK’s academy and, having shown his promise in a handful of first-team appearances both at Viking and out on loan in the second tier, enjoyed his breakthrough season in 2021 as he scored five goals in 27 Eliteserien appearances. Tangan, who won Norway youth caps up to Under 20s level, remained a mainstay in Viking’s side over the next two-and-a-half seasons before signing a long-term contract with Sarpsborg in August 2024. He'll wear squad number 27.
