Kenneth Ringsrød (22 February 1969 – 9 December 2023) was a Norwegian footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Career[edit]
Ringsrød started his career in Sarpsborg FK. He signed for Kvik Halden in the autumn of 1990,[1] but instead joined Borgen IL before the start of the 1991 season.[2] Ahead of the 1995 season he went from Sarpsborg to first-tier club Kongsvinger, where he played the season as first-choice goalkeeper.[3][4] He especially became known for crucial saves during a late-season game against Rosenborg, securing one point for Kongsvinger as well as a renewed spot in Eliteserien.[5]
Despite good performances on the pitch, Ringsrød's contract was terminated by Kongsvinger after the 1995 season because of non-football related issues.[6] He moved back to Østfold and joined second-division Fredrikstad the following season.[7] In 1997 he returned to Sarpsborg for a spell in the 1997 1. divisjon.[8][9] In 2000 he was picked up by Moss FK as second-choice goalkeeper while Per Morten Kristiansen suffered from mononucleosis, but never played an official match for the club.[10]
Death[edit]
Ringsrød died in Sarpsborg on 9 December 2023, at the age of 54.[5][11]
