Club career

Stabæk

Rogne started his career with Norwegian club Stabæk. He missed the entire 2008 season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in a pre-season friendly against Russian side Krylia Sovetov in La Manga.[2] He played for Stabæk in UEFA Champions League qualifying matches against Copenhagen[2] and Valencia,[3] and also represented the club in the Europa League.[4]

Celtic

Rogne signed for Celtic on 20 January 2010,[5] and joined on a three and a half-year contract.[6] Rogne was given the number 25 shirt.[7]

On 10 February 2010, Rogne made his Celtic debut coming on as a substitute for Glenn Loovens in a 2–0 home win against Hearts in the SPL.[8] He made his first start for Celtic at home against Dundee United in a 1–0 victory on 20 February 2010,[3] he played very well and impressed the coach Tony Mowbray.[9] Rogne impressed against Rangers on 28 February 2010[10] but was taken off due to a hamstring injury.[11] He returned two months later in an away game against Dundee United[12] but once again had to leave the field early through injury.[13]

Rogne made his first competitive start of the 2010–11 season for Celtic against St Johnstone in a 3–0 win.[14][15] In the following game he was sent off for a professional foul against Aberdeen.[16][17] Despite this, Celtic went on to win the game by a record-breaking 9–0 score.[17] He scored his first goal for Celtic in a 1–1 draw against Kilmarnock in December 2010.[18] Rogne won many plaudits for his performance as Celtic beat Rangers 2–0 at Ibrox in the 2011 New Year derby.[19][20][21] He scored his second goal for Celtic against Aberdeen in their 4–1 League Cup semi-final win on 29 January 2011.[22] Rogne took part in his first major Cup Final on 20 March 2011 when Celtic played Rangers in the Scottish League Cup Final, but they lost 2–1.[23] An injury in May sidelined Rogne for the rest of the season.[24]

Injury kept Rogne out of the Celtic side for the first few months of the following season.[24] He returned to the Celtic first team in October 2011 in their League Cup quarter-final tie against Hibernian.[24] Rogne continued to struggle with a series of minor injuries, but nevertheless played well in the majority of his sporadic appearances, having kept a clean sheet in over half the games he played.[25] On 25 March 2012, he scored in Celtic's 3–2 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox.[26]

Wigan Athletic

On 27 June 2013, it was confirmed that Rogne would leave Celtic after his contract expired to join FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic on a free transfer, signing a three-year contract.

On 31 August 2013, Rogne made his Wigan debut at home against Nottingham Forest in a 2–1 win for the side.

IFK Göteborg

On 14 March 2015, Rogne signed a three-year-long contract with Allsvenskan team IFK Göteborg.[27]

Lech Poznań

On 1 August 2017, Rogne signed a three-year contract with Ekstraklasa side Lech Poznań. The contract is effective from 1 January 2018.[28]

International career

Rogne has represented Norway at youth level, and played for the under-19 team in the 2009 UEFA Under-19 Championship qualification.[4] Rogne was later captain of the under-21 team,[5][14] and were playing alongside the captain Stefan Strandberg in the central defence when Norway U21 qualified for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[29]

In March 2011, he received his first call-up to the Norway senior side for their Euro 2012 qualification match with Denmark but did not feature.[30]

Rogne made his senior debut for Norway on 29 February 2012 in a 3–0 friendly win against Northern Ireland.[31][32]

In May 2019, Rogne married Ada Hegerberg.[33]
