Ørjan Nyland

Ørjan Nyland is the kind of footballer I have a soft spot for: a goalkeeper who quietly does the unglamorous job and occasionally rises to the big moment. Standing 192 cm, the Norwegian from Volda announced himself by winning man of the match in the 2012 Norwegian Cup final and the 2014 Kniksen Award as goalkeeper of the year. Keepers rarely get headlines unless something goes wrong, so earning national-team recognition tells me he's reliable under pressure. There's a steadiness to his path through Hødd and Molde that I genuinely respect in a position defined by thankless consistency.

Ørjan Håskjold Nyland (born 10 September 1990) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Norway national team. Nyland previously played for Hødd, and was named the man of the match in the 2012 Norwegian Cup final. He joined the defending Tippeligaen champions Molde ahead of the 2013 season.
