Tandberg joins from Hammarby

We are delighted to announce the signing of Cathinka Tandberg from Hammarby, subject to international clearance and work permit.

The 21-year-old Norway international joins the Club on a permanent contract and will wear the number 19 shirt.

Cathinka said: “I’m very happy to be here. It’s such a big club. Martin coming here, his playing style fits me very well, and hopefully I can score a lot of goals here.

“I want to score goals, but I’m a very physical player, always fighting for the team and fighting for the Club.”

Our Head Coach, Martin Ho, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Cathinka to Tottenham Hotspur Women. She’s an exciting young talent with pace, creativity and intelligence in the final third. But just as importantly she’s a humble, hard-working character who wants to keep improving.

“Cathinka is a great fit for the culture we’re building here and we’re looking forward to seeing the impact she can make with us.”

Cathinka’s journey began at Heming followed by Stabaek, before securing a move to Toppserien (Norway’s top flight) side Lyn at the age of 16, where she spent two years at the Club and scored five goals.

She joined Swedish side Linkoping in 2023 and enjoyed an impressive maiden campaign, netting 19 goals to win the league’s golden boot.

Having netted 22 goals in 49 appearances during her time at Linkoping, the striker made the switch to Hammarby IF midway through the 2024 campaign and scored nine goals in 11 Swedish top-flight games.

An imposing attacker, with her strength in possession and her ability in the air, her standout moments have come in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. She scored a 95th-minute winner to see the Bajen progress into the group stage for the first time in 2024 and, last month, she stepped off the bench to net a brace in their 5-4 win over Metalist 1925 Kharkiv in the first qualifying round, once again scoring a last-minute winner.

During her time in Stockholm, she featured 37 times in all competitions, scoring 19 goals in total, with 10 of those appearances coming in the Champions League group stage where she found the back of the net on five occasions in Europe.

Having represented Norway at Under-19 and Under-23 level, Cathinka made her senior international debut against France in October, 2023, and has five senior caps for her country to date.
