Christoffer "Doffern" Dahl (born 8 January 1984) is a Norwegian football midfielder who currently plays for Hønefoss BK. He also plays futsal for Norwegian Futsal Premier League club KFUM-Kameratene Oslo Futsal.[1]

Career

He started his career in Vikersund before moving to Oslo, and joining KFUM Oslo. He was transferred to Lyn ahead of the 2003 season, where he made his Norwegian Premier League debut against Viking in a 3–3 draw on 25 May 2003.[2] He was loaned out to Norwegian First Division club Manglerud Star for 16 matches in 2006.

In 2006, he announced that he was retiring from elite football, due to lack of motivation. He decided to start teaching education, and play football for his former club KFUM Oslo, then in the Norwegian Third Division.[3] The team was later promoted to the Second Division.

Personal life

He is the son of Norwegian priest, Per Arne Dahl, who was nominated as the successor of Oslo bishop, Gunnar Stålsett, but lost to Ole Christian Kvarme. His girlfriend, Cecilie Brynestad, is the daughter of former Lyn-owner, Atle Brynestad.[4]
