Niklas Kemp Fuglestad (born 20 May 2006) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eliteserien club Viking.
He grew up in Sola Municipality as a nephew of footballer Erik Fuglestad. As a child, he was offered a move to the academy of Viking FK, but postponed the move to 2022.[1][2]
In early 2024 he signed his first Viking contract, lasting until the end of 2026. At the end of 2024, it was prolonged to the end of 2028, as he was seen as a "sales prospect".[3] He also helped Viking reach the final of the 2024 Norwegian Youth Cup.[4][5]
He made his competitive first-team debut in Eliteserien in July 2024, followed by his first goal in April 2025 in the cup.[6] In the summer of 2025, he was loaned out to Moss FK in the First Division,[7] whom he helped survive the relegation playoff, though he missed in the decisive penalty shootout.[8] Having played four Eliteserien matches in 2025 with Viking before the loan,[6] he was league champion as Viking won the 2025 Eliteserien. He scored his first goal in the Eliteserien on March 21 2026, when he netted a brace against Molde.
