Kim Deinoff (born 2 December 1976) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Kongsvinger. He has previously played in the Tippeligaen for Aalesund, and has also played for Skeid, Abildsø, Raufoss, Hødd, Løv-Ham and Manglerud Star.
Career
Born in Oslo,[1] Deinoff grew up playing for Skeid, and was the second-choice goalkeeper behind Roger Vaaler when the club played in Tippeligaen in 1996.[2] As Deinoff did not play any matches for Skeid, he joined Abildsø the next season to play more regularly.[3] He played for Abildsø for three seasons[4] until he joined First Division side Raufoss where he soon became the first-choice goalkeeper. After three seasons with Raufoss, he joined the newly promoted Tippeligaen side Aalesund as a free agent ahead of the 2003 season.[3]
Deinoff was brought to Aalesund as a back-up for Frank Mathisen, but became the first-choice half-way through the 2003 season and played 13 matches for the club in their first season in Tippeligaen.[5] After the team was relegated to the First Division, Aalesund met one of their challengers for promotion, Sandefjord in a match on 6 June 2004. Towards the end of the first half, Sandefjord's Andreas Augustsson got a red card for biting Deinoff in the arm.[6] Augustsson said after the match that he was stuck underneath a few players and was struck by panic, but the next day he apologized to Deinoff. Despite playing half the match with ten players, Sandefjord won 2–0,[6][7] but at the end of the season Aalesund was promoted ahead of Sandefjord with Deinoff playing 29 matches.[1] Following the arrival of Adin Brown, Deinoff was the second-choice goalkeeper in 2005, but made 8 appearances during the season when Brown was injured.[8] Deinoff played a total of 89 matches for Aalesund.[9]
Ahead of the 2006 season Deinoff transferred to Hødd, and signed a two-year contract with the club.[9] After two seasons as Hødd's first-choice goalkeeper, Deinoff was a free agent after the 2007 season and was wanted by Kristiansund and English side Torquay United.[10] He instead signed with Løv-Ham and in his first season with Løv-Ham he was voted as the "player of the year" by his team-mates when the team finished 12th in the 2008 Norwegian First Division. Deinoff also claimed that it was his best season so far in his career.[11]
Løv-Ham struggled with the finances after the 2009 season, and could not afford extending the contracts with their key-players Deinoff and Prince Efe Ehiorobo, who were on full-time contracts. Deinoff was insetad offered a part-time contract,[12] but Deinoff turned down the offer. He later trialed with Strømsgodset,[13] Hønefoss[14] and Sandnes Ulf[15] before he returned to Oslo and joined the Second Division side Manglerud Star. He made his debut for the club on 17 April 2010 against Nest-Sotra.[4] In the 3–3 draw against Os on 23 May 2010, Deinoff scored the equalizing goal after a corner kick during stoppage time. This was the second time Deinoff had scored a goal in his career, the first came as a Løv-Ham player in the 2009 Norwegian Football Cup when he scored in the penalty shoot-out against Start which Løv-Ham won 15–14.[16]
After Manglerud/Star was bankrupted ahead of the 2011 season, Deinoff joined Kongsvinger on a one-year contract. In competition with Tobias Holmen Johansen for the goalkeeper-spot Deinoff played 14 matches in the First Division in his first season for the club.[17] He signed a new two-year contract with Kongsvinger in March 2012[18] and played 18 matches in the 2012 season.[1]
