Ruben Alte (born 28 February 2000) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Viking.

Career

Alte grew up in Namsos and played youth and—from 2016—senior football for Namsos IL. [1] He moved to Steinkjer FK in mid-2018, but failed to get considerable playing time in the 2018 3. divisjon. [2] He instead started 2019 in Namsos before moving to the youth team of Ranheim IL in mid-season. [1] In 2020, the league was postponed until the summer. Alte was then drafted into Ranheim's first team squad. [3]

Becoming a firm central midfielder in the 1. divisjon, rumours of a transfer to the highest league arose in the summer of 2023. Ranheim's larger neighbours Rosenborg BK showed interest, and Kongsvinger IL even had a bid accepted that was turned down by the player. [4] [5] In the end, the sale took place in January 2024 and Kristiansund BK was the club that managed to get his signature. [6]

He made his Eliteserien debut in April 2024, and started 30 of 30 league matches in the 2024 Eliteserien. [7]
