Sander Kartum

Sander Kartum of Heart of Midlothian was born in Stjørdal, Norway on 3 October 1995 (age 29).

Sander Kartum, born on the bountiful day of 3 October 1995 in the frosty terrains of Norway, currently straps on his boots as a midfielder for Hearts. A primordial figure in the central midfielder position, he stands assertively at 5ft 10in (1.8m) with a weight of 11st 6lb (73kg). He staunchly carries the responsibility of the revered jersey number 27.

One could estimate his market value in the realm of £382,000, according to the esteemed football website Transfermarkt. His current pledge to Hearts is bound to last another 2 years 4 months, setting the clock for his undertakings until the 30 June 2027.

Bearing into remembrance the chilly January of 2021, Sander Kartum initiated a venture away from Stjørdals-Blink in the Norwegian 2. Divisjon, making his berth at Kristiansund in the Eliteserien. At Kristiansund, the break of 2021 witnessed him making 26 first team appearances and netting the ball four times in league tournaments. Further, in the following year at Kristiansund, he made a commendable 28 first team appearances and added two more goals to his tally.

However, come August 2023, the winds of change ushered Kartum from Kristiansund to Brann, another stellar club in the Eliteserien. A hefty sum of approximately £179,000 sealed the deal. During the course of 2023 at Brann, Kartum graced the field 12 times, scoring thrice in league competitions. Come 2024, the Norwegian midfielder had an outstanding run in 28 first team appearances, finding the back of the net on four separate occasions.

As the dawn of January 2025 bleeds into existence, Kartum finds himself leaving Norway behind for the Scottish Premiership's Hearts in a presumed deal of £297,500. During his ongoing 2024 - 2025 season at Hearts in Scotland, Kartum has taken to the field six times.

A final note of worth is his notable performance in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Hearts, where he scored twice in one start and one appearance as a substitute, bringing an appreciable amount of glory to his admirable football career.
