Eirik Soltvedt (born 3 September 1979) is a retired Norwegian football striker.
Hailing from Randaberg,[2] he played youth football for Viking and represented Norway as a youth international.[3][4] In 1994 he went on trial with AFC Ajax, followed by IFK Göteborg and Ipswich Town in 1995, Southampton in 1996 and a week-long trial with AC Milan Primavera in 1997.[5]
He started his senior career in Bryne, but was not a squad member in 2000 and went to Randaberg; in mid-2000 he moved to Oslo and played successively for Skeid and Ullern. In 2002 he joined Ull/Kisa,[4] and after 25 goals in the 2003 2. divisjon he was picked up by Lillestrøm.[6][2] Never a success, in mid-2005 he moved on to Notodden.[7] In mid-2007 he returned to Ull/Kisa, and from 2013 he finished his career in lowly Eidsvold and Hauerseter.[4]
