Martin Hellan (born 17 August 2003) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a right-back for Sandefjord on loan from SK Brann.
Career
[edit]Hailing from Skui, he played children's football for IL Jutul[2] and Fornebu FK before joining Stabæk in 2018.[3]
Not awarded a contract with Stabæk when he reached the age of a senior player, he went to First Division club Kongsvinger in 2023.[4] After only one season in Kongsvinger, Hellan was reportedly sought after by several Eliteserien clubs.[5] The club he signed for was SK Brann.[6]
However, Hellan would go several months without making his Eliteserien debut.[7] His first Brann match came against Go Ahead Eagles in the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League qualifying. It was later revealed that he broke a bone around the 10th minute and was not substituted out before the 75th minute.[8] Hellan returned from injury and played a friendly match in March 2025, but on the same day, Brann signed Denzel De Roeve.[9] Hellan joined his teenage club Stabæk on loan in 2025, with two right-backs on that team being injured.[10]
In 2026 Hellan was back in Brann. He was omitted from a squad during continental play,[11] but finally made his Eliteserien debut in May 2026 against Aalesund.[12][3] Following a rare start for Brann in July 2026, Hellan chose to go on loan to Sandefjord to play more regularly.[13][14]
