Erik André Huseklepp (born 5 September 1984) is a Norwegian professional football coach and former player who is currently assistant manager of Eliteserien club Brann.

The 2007 season was much the same, with Brann coach Mons Ivar Mjelde preferring to use Huseklepp as an impact player, taking on tiring defenders in the closing stages of the game.

[citation needed] He played 14 games and scored two goals for the club, but they were relegated to Serie B and due to financial difficulties were forced to put Huseklepp up for sale.

[9] With Portsmouth in administration, the club informed Huseklepp that they needed him to accept a loan move to Championship rivals Birmingham City in order to help relieve their financial difficulties.

Although reluctant to leave Portsmouth, where he had established a good relationship with the fans,[10] he complied with the request, and joined Birmingham on 23 February 2012 on loan until the end of the season.

[13] After the departure of Rodolph Austin to Leeds United, the Norwegian club provided funds, and on 28 July 2012, it was announced that Brann had reached a verbal agreement with Huseklepp.

[19][20] On 12 August 2009, Huseklepp scored his first international goal in the 60th minute of the 4–0 victory over Scotland, after strike partner John Carew had hit both posts.

[22] After he played his 25th match at international level against Cyprus in October 2011, Huseklepp also became the first player from Bergen to receive the Gold Watch since Helge Karlsen in 1977.
