Edvard Skagestad (born 6 July 1988) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a centre back for Follo.
[4] After making a series of good performances in the 2011 pre-season, Skagestad suffered a bout of hamstring-injuries which kept him on the sidelines until late April.
[9] The 2011 season ended triumphantly for Skagestad as he was chosen to start, again as a striker, the 2011 Cup final against Brann.
[10] In the run-up to the 2012 season, Skagestad was again chosen as a striker, this time due to rampant injuries suffered by Leke James, Demar Phillips and Lars Fuhre.
[13] After the home loss against rivals Molde on 6 May, Aalesund's head coach Kjetil Rekdal were facing outside pressure and slowly started utilizing Skagestad as a full back, replacing him as a forward with the Jamaican newcomer Tremaine Stewart.
Commentators noted that the full-back had essentially played in every single position except as goalkeeper after arriving at the club.
