Jens Petter Hauge Siblings: Meet Runar and Thale Hauge

Jens Petter Hauge, a prominent Norwegian professional footballer, was born on October 12, 1999, in Bodø, Norway. Currently, he plays for Eliteserien club Bodø/Glimt, donning the number 10 jersey, and the Norway national team. Renowned for his speed, skill in dribbling, and goal-scoring prowess from the wings, Hauge has emerged as one of Norway's most promising attacking talents.

As the eldest of three siblings, Jens is closely followed by his younger brother, Runar Hauge, who is also a professional footballer. Both siblings have competed against each other since childhood, a rivalry that has significantly contributed to their development. Their younger sister, Thale Hauge, is involved in football as well, playing for Bodø/Glimt's women's team.

Hauge began his professional career with Bodø/Glimt in April 2016 at the age of 16, making an immediate impact by scoring a hat-trick on his senior debut in the Norwegian Cup. He became the club's youngest Eliteserien goalscorer that season. After securing Bodø/Glimt's return to the top flight and becoming a key player, particularly with 14 league goals in the title-winning 2020 campaign, Hauge transferred to AC Milan in September 2020.

During his tenure at Milan, he scored in both Serie A and the Europa League. In 2021, he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt, where he played a crucial role in Frankfurt's victory in the 2021-22 UEFA Europa League, earning him the distinction of being the first Norwegian to win the competition.

Hauge made his senior Norway debut in October 2020 and has since been included in the national team's 26-man squad for the highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup. With Bodø/Glimt, he has secured the Eliteserien title in 2020 and 2024 and the Norwegian Football Cup in 2025-26. His most notable European achievement came with Eintracht Frankfurt's triumph in the 2021-22 UEFA Europa League.

Individually, Hauge was honored as Eliteserien Young Player of the Year in 2020 and was named Norway's player of the year by VG in the same year. He has represented Norway in various youth competitions, including the UEFA European Under-19 Championship and the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
