Rune Medalen (born 13 April 1970) is a retired Norwegian football striker.
A first cousin of Linda Medalen, he went from third-tier Ålgård FK in 1992 to being Bryne FK's top goalscorer in 1993 and securing a contract with Viking FK in 1994.[1] In 1996 he was shipped on to Sogndal Fotball,[2] returning to Rogaland and Bryne FK in 1997.[3] The transfer fees went from 195,000 kr to Viking, 170,000 kr to Sogndal and 175,000 kr to Bryne.[4]
In 2003, his contract was due to expire at the end of the year, and at the onset of the season Medalen faced long-term injury, meaning that he never returned to professional football.[5]
