Tommy Knarvik (born 1 November 1979) is a Norwegian football player who currently plays for Tromsø IL.[1]


He most known for his period in SK Brann. In his early years, Knarvik was a junior player in Leeds United, where he won the junior FA cup in 2000. He was also awarded the title of "Young Player of the Year" in Leeds United, in strong competition against such players as Jonathan Woodgate and Harry Kewell.

After a few good seasons in Brann, his performance dropped. He was loaned out to Bryne FK but the manager there did not offer a regular contract. Brann then let him go, and Knarvik got a chance in the Adeccoliga club Sogndal. Once again, he did not perform as expected and played only one season in Sogndal. He has since played for Sandefjord Fotball.

On November 14, 2007 Tromsø announced that they had signed Knarvik on a 4 year contract.[2]
