Per Ciljan Skjelbred ( born June 16, 1987 in Trondheim ) is a Norwegian football player who stands at Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga under contract and playing on loan at Hertha BSC.
Club career
Skjelbred began his career in his native city of Trondheim in the small club Trygg / charging. In Norway he was committed early, when he was selected by TV3 to participate in a contest in which the largest Norwegian football talent was sought. Skjelbred won the competition and the associated main prize, a one-week trial with Liverpool FC. In this he was able to leave a lasting impression, after which he was offered a youth contract by Liverpool. Skjelbred rejected that contract from, however, choosing instead to sign a professional contract with Rosenborg BK.
On 9 June 2004 he made his debut as a 16- year-old for Rosenborg in the Tippeligaen. This season he completed due to the strong competition in the midfield just another game. In 2005, he became a regular player for Rosenborg. On May 22, 2005, he cashed the youngest player ever in the Tippeligaen a red card.
After he had against Olympiakos Piraeus score a goal in the first match of the Champions League season 2005/ 06, a man-marker was turned to him for the return leg in Trondheim with Ieroklis Stoltidis. This fouled him such a difficult in the sixth minute of the game that Skjelbred suffered a tibia and fibula fracture. Stolditis only received a yellow card for the foul. Skjelbred fell out for six months and was only on 10 March 2006 to play in the league match against FK Aalesunds again.
About more brief appearances he rose again for regular players and on a recurring performer at Rosenborg.
In summer 2008, a change Skjelbreds to Newcastle United seemed to be already safe. But this did not happen because the former Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan withdrew the offer one day before the end of the transfer window. Due to the last-minute cancellation of Newcastle came in the crossing time for the 2008/ 09 season to no change from Skjelbred, after which he continued his career at Rosenborg.
In Norway he was long regarded as the greatest hope for the future of the country.
For the season 2011/12 undertook the German Bundesliga club Hamburger SV Skjelbred. He was originally supposed to receive a three and a half year contract from 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2015, led to agreement but with Rosenborg for an immediate change. He arrived on August 4th, after Rosenborg had discharged his return match in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, for HSV. His last game for Rosenborg BK made Skjelbred on July 27, 2011, when he was used in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against Viktoria Plzen. In the return match on August 3, 2011, he was missing due to injury. One day later, he was introduced at Hamburg SV.
On September 2, 2013 Skjelbred was loaned to the end of the 2013/14 season at Hertha BSC. In return, Pierre -Michel Lasogga moved on loan to Hamburg.
