Steinar Ryen Strømnes (born 19 March 1987) is a retired Norwegian footballer.
He hails from Roa, and moved from minnows Hadeland to top-tier Vålerenga in 2003. He enrolled at Wang Upper Secondary School and played for Vålerenga's youth team.[1] He featured for the senior team as a half-time substitute in the 2005 Norwegian Football Cup—in a 10–2 thrashing of Hadeland—and started both legs in the 2005-06 UEFA Cup campaign against Steaua Bucuresti.[2][3][4] In September 2006 he made his Norwegian Premier League debut against Start.[5] He also made his debut for the Norway national under-21 football team.[6]
In the spring of 2007 he was loaned out to HamKam, and in the summer he was loaned out to Kongsvinger.[7] Ahead of the 2008 season he joined Kongsvinger permanently.[8] Featuring scarcely in the 2009 Norwegian Premier League campaign, he went on to Lyn. However, the club went bankrupt after ten matches of the 2010 Norwegian First Division and Strømnes moved to Sweden and Åtvidaberg.
From 2012 to 2017 he played for Strømmen, amassing 166 league games[9] and captaining the team. In December 2017 he moved to Bekkestua and soon after joined Stabæk.[10]
After the end of the 2021 season, Strømnes announced his retirement.[11]
