Eirik Ulland Andersen (born 21 September 1992) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eliteserien club Strømsgodset.
Hailing from Haugesund, Andersen played for Vard Haugesund until he signed for FK Haugesund in 2010.[1] He made his debut for Haugesund in Tippeligaen against Aalesund on 10 April 2011.[2] Andersen played a total of 145 minutes in 10 matches for Haugesund in Tippeligaen in 2011, and scored five goals in three matches in the Norwegian Cup.[1]
Andersen was loaned to his old club Vard Haugesund, playing in the 2. divisjon, until 31 July.[1] On 1 August 2012, he joined Vard Haugesund on a permanent transfer.[3] The club won promotion from the 2012 2. divisjon. He played for second-tier club Hødd from 2013 to 2016.
On 16 August 2016, he signed for Strømsgodset.[4] He played 62 league games for the club and scored 20 goals.
Ulland Andersen signed for Molde on 16 January 2019.[5] He signed a four-year contract with the club. He made his debut for Molde on 31 March 2019 in a 1–1 away draw against Sarpsborg 08.[2] On 10 April 2019, he scored his first goal for the club on a penalty in Molde's 4–1 win against Vålerenga.[6] On 1 May 2019, he scored his first hat-trick for the club in Molde's 5–0 win against Eide/Omegn in the Norwegian Cup first round.[7] In the second half of the game, he was removed from the pitch with an injury to his Achilles tendon, which possibly rules him out for the rest of the season.[7]
On 25 February 2021, he scored a brace in a 2–0 away win over TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League round of 32,[8] to qualify with his team to the next round.
In August 2023, Ulland Andersen returned to his former club Strømsgodset on a contract until 31 December 2025.[9]
