Club career

Brustad was born in Oslo,[1] and played for Ullern and Lyn in his youth.[2] After spending three years of his college soccer career at Stetson University,[3] he signed a contract with the Tippeligaen side Stabæk in August 2011.[4] He made his debut in Tippeligaen in the match against Brann on 21 August 2011.[5] He scored two goals on 29 May 2012 in Stabæk's first win of the season in the match against Lillestrøm, benefitting from his quick pace. Brustad personal record on 40 meter is 4.57 and Stabæk's head coach, Petter Belsvik said; "I would need to have a head start of at least 20 meters to beat him running 40 meters."[6]

Fredrik Brustad signed a three-year pre-contract with AIK starting January 2015.[7]

Personal life

Brustad is the half brother of the Norway international footballer Kjetil Wæhler[5]
