Jens Petter Hauge (born 12 October 1999) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Eliteserien club Bodø/Glimt and the Norway national team.
Bodø/Glimt
Born in Bodø, Nordland,[4] spending his childhood years in FK Vinkelen, and progressing through the youth academy of Bodø/Glimt, Hauge signed his first professional contract with the club on 12 April 2016.[5] The following day he made his senior debut in a 6–0 cup win against IF Fløya as a 64th-minute substitute for Fitim Azemi. He immediately scored a hat-trick.[6] Hauge made his league debut on 23 April against Strømsgodset, where he came on as a late substitute as Bodø/Glimt lost 2–0.[7] In the next league games he featured regularly, and on 8 July, he scored his first top-flight goal in the 4–1 away win over IK Start, becoming Bodø/Glimt's youngest ever goalscorer in the Eliteserien.[8] In the 2016 season, he made 20 league appearances in which he scored one goal,[9] as Bodø/Glimt suffered relegation to the second-tier Norwegian First Division.[10]
In the following season, Hauge established himself as an undisputed starter as Bodø/Glimt won the second-tier championship and made their immediate return to the top-flight Eliteserien.[11] He made a significant contribution that season, scoring two goals and making 13 assists.[12] At the start of the 2018 season, Hauge again lost his starting role, and as a result, was loaned to the second-tier club Aalesunds FK on 15 August 2018, halfway through the season, after 11 league appearances in which he scored no goals.[9] In Aalesund, he had made only six league appearances by the end of the season.[9]
During the course of the following season, Hauge made it back into the starting line-up of Bodø/Glimt. On 10 November 2019, he scored both goals for his club in a 2–3 away defeat to Rosenborg.[13] That season, he made 28 league appearances in which he scored seven goals and registered two assists.[9]
Scheduled to begin in March, the 2020 season was postponed until June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hauge and Bodø/Glimt got off to an excellent start.[14][15] After ten match-days, the club surprisingly took a lead in the league table.[16] At that point, Hauge had already scored six goals and assisted six.[9] He also managed to impress in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers. In the narrow 2–3 away defeat to Italian club A.C. Milan, Hauge was directly involved in both his team's goals.[17] As a result, media reported that the Rossoneri were interested in signing him.[18][19]
AC Milan
On 1 October 2020, Hauge signed a five-year contract with Serie A club A.C. Milan.[20] Three days later, he made his debut in a 3–0 win over Spezia.[21] On 22 October, he scored his first goal for Milan in a 3–1 win at Celtic in the group stage of the Europa League.[22] On 22 November, he scored his first Serie A goal in a 3–1 away win over Napoli.[23]
Eintracht Frankfurt
On 10 August 2021, Eintracht Frankfurt announced that Hauge would join the Bundesliga club on a season-long loan with an option to make the deal permanent.[24] He scored a goal in his Frankfurt debut, although in a 5–2 loss against Borussia Dortmund, on 14 August.[25]
On 28 May 2022, Eintracht Frankfurt announced that they had activated the purchase option for Hauge from Serie A club AC Milan following his one-year loan. Hauge signed his contract until 2026.[26]
Loan to Gent
On 16 August 2022, Gent announced that Hauge would join the Belgian First Division A club on a season-long loan.[27]
Return to Bodø/Glimt
On 31 January 2024, Hauge returned to Bodø/Glimt on loan until the end of 2024, with an option to buy.[28] On 16 January 2025, he joined the club on a permanent deal by signing a contract until 2028.[29]
He scored his first UEFA Champions League goals by netting a brace in a 2–2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on 30 September 2025.[30] During the 2025–26 Champions League knockout play-offs, he scored in both legs and provided an assist in 5–2 victory on aggregate over Inter Milan.[31]
International career
He made his national team debut on 11 October 2020 in a Nations League game against Romania.[32]
Personal life
Hauge has a younger brother, Runar, who is also a professional footballer who plays for Hobro IK. The pair has played together for Bodø/Glimt, the club where they both made their debuts.[33]
