In the last game of the season, he scored his 17th goal, in a 1–1 draw against Bodø/Glimt to send the club to get promoted to the next season. [13] After the match, Stokkelien described this as "the biggest I've ever been with as a footballer. It was absolutely amazing". [14] Unlike his first season, Stokkelien made improvements under manager Petter Belsvik by scoring goals and ended up as the club's top-scorer, as well as the second top-scorer behind Jo Sondre Aas. His performance resulted him to be nominated for Division One Player Of The Year. [15]

In conclusion of the 2013 season, Stokkelien attracted interests from abroad, which put his future at the club uncertain. [16] [17]

Personal life

While growing up, Stokkelien says Ole Gunnar Solskjær was his idol. [25] Stokkelien revealed he's planning to study to become a dentist.
