Jakob Haugaard

Jakob Haugaard, the seasoned Tromsø goalkeeper, brings a wealth of experience to the Eliteserien at 33, yet our scout report finds itself a bit short on meaningful player stats due to the lack of suitable data for his position. Known for his commanding presence between the posts, Haugaard’s style of play is characterised by a no-nonsense approach, relying on his height and positioning to thwart attacking threats. While the numbers don't paint the full picture, his ability to read the game and direct his defence is immeasurable, adding a layer of composure to the backline. However, as with many goalkeepers approaching the twilight of their careers, agility can start to wane, making quick reflexes and shot-stopping under pressure areas to watch. Nevertheless, Haugaard's leadership and experience remain invaluable assets to Tromsø’s defensive setup.
