Career

Club career

Vilsvik was born in West Berlin[1] to a Norwegian father and a German mother,[2] and began his football career as a 6-year old for the club Tennis Borussia Berlin, where he played with his good friend Jérôme Boateng.[3]

Lichterfelder FC

When he was 16 years old he began playing for the German fifth-tier club Lichterfelder FC. He played half a season as a junior for the club, before he as the youngest player (17) was promoted to the first team, where he played for four years. He also had trials at Rosenborg BK,[2] Hamburger SV[4] and Eintracht Braunschweig.[5]

Strømsgodset

In November 2009, Vilsvik was on trial for the Norwegian club Strømsgodset, and impressed the coach and sports director enough to get a three-year contract.[6] His first months in the club was spent playing at the reserve team, until he got a few chances on the first team as a left back. In the summer of 2010, he did a couple of strong performances in a row, and was highly praised by the coach and the fans. He is currently a regular in Strømsgodset's team.

International career

With both a German and Norwegian citizenship, Vilsvik was eligible to represent both his mother's and father's country.[7]

In November 2011 he was called up in the Norway squad, for their game with Wales as a replacement for Tom Høgli.[8] Vilsvik made his debut for the national team in January 2012 for the Kings Cup in Thailand, where he played his first two international matches. He was again called up for the national team for in June 2012 as a replacement for Jonathan Parr, and with Vilsvik's teammate Kim André Madsen also in the squad, Strømsgodset had two players in the Norwegian squad for the first time since 1970.[9]
