Kristian Sirum Novak (born 19 October 1998) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a defender.
Novak played youth football at Austrått and Ålgård, before starting his senior career with the latter in 2014. Ahead of the 2017 season, he joined Viking's youth setup. A year later he was promoted to the senior squad,[1] but a knee injury kept him on the sideline for most of the 2018 season.[2] In 2019, he moved to Sola, and then Grorud. After two seasons with Grorud, he signed a contract with Jerv in January 2021.[3] On 3 April 2022, he made his Eliteserien debut in a 1–0 win against Strømsgodset.
He is the son of a Norwegian mother and Croatian father. He hails from Håbafjell in Sandnes and is the older brother of Norwegian international handballer Kristina Novak.[4]
