Jone Samuelsen Biography

Jone Samuelsen is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on July 6, 1984 in Sunde, Stavanger, Rogaland, Norway. Jone Samuelsen (born 6 July 1984) is a former Norwegian footballer.

He was signed by Odd Grenland early in January 2010 for around 100.000 NOK, the bulk of which was paid by the Odd Grenlands fan club Oddrane. Thanks to his hardworking style, he quickly became a popular fan.

After an impressive start to the 2014 season, scoring 5 goals in 10 league games from the midfield position, Samuelsen was selected by Per Mathias Høgmo for the friendly matches against France and Russia in May. He made his senior international debut on 27 May 2014, coming on as a late substitute for Mats Møller Dæhli in the game versus France in the Stade de France, a match Norway lost 4–0.

He was entrusted to Viking in this season, and was paid more than NOK 2.25 million (PS200,000) which was the second-highest transfer fee ever paid by Viking during that time. When he joined Viking the player was a quick success, and was selected to the international team for Under-21s in a number of occasions, taking on the Brazilian U-21 team, among others in which he was tasked to mark Kaka. However the 2004 and seasons of 2005 were not as successful because he did not find a regular place in the team in the direction of Roy Hodgson. But, Vikings former coach Tom Prahl believed in Samuelsen which meant that Samuelsen continued to be a frequent player player in the team’s lineup throughout his 2006 campaign.
