Etzaz Hussain (born 27 January 1993) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for sivasspor in turkis ligue. Hussain played for Langhus and Manchester United as a youth player, before he returned to Norway in 2011. After a short spell at Vålerenga, he transferred to Fredrikstad where he made his professional debut. Hussain transferred to Molde in mid-2012 and won the Tippeligaen in his first season at the club.

Playing career

Hussain is of Pakistani descent,[1] but was born in Oslo, and played for Langhus in his early days, before he transferred to Manchester United on 21 February 2009,[2] and signed a professional contract with United on his 17th birthday.[3] Even though Hussain only stayed in England for two years, and did not get any chances for the first team, he said to the Norwegian newspaper VG in February 2012 that "it was an experience for life" and would advice other Norwegian youngster to grab the opportunity if they had the chance.[4] In January 2011 he returned home to Norway, and signed for the Tippeligaen club Vålerenga.[5]

Less than three months later, Hussain signed for Fredrikstad, also a Tippeligaen club,[6] after some disagreements between Vålerenga and Hussain on the way forward.[7] On 14 August 2011, Hussain sent Fredrikstad to the semi-final of 2011 Norwegian Football Cup with the match-winning goal with only a couple of minutes left of the overtime, at the expense of Molde now managed by his former boss at the Manchester United reserves, Ole Gunnar Solskjær.[8] On 31 October 2011, Hussain scored his second goal in two matches, with the match winning goal against Vålerenga, the club that believed he wasn't good enough for Tippeligaen.[9]

Molde

On 27 July 2012 Hussain moved to Molde FK, reuniting with Ole Gunnar Solskjær.[10]

Sivasspor

On 7 January 2016, Hussain signed a 2.5-year contract with Turkish Süper Lig side Sivasspor.[11]
