Viljar Myhra (born 21 July 1996) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Danish Superliga club OB.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Myhra progressed through Odd's youth academy but failed to make his breakthrough in the first team. On 1 January 2019, following the expiration of his contract with Odd, he signed with Strømsgodset.[2] He initially became the starting goalkeeper at the beginning of the 2019 season but lost his position in May 2019 when head coach Bjørn Petter Ingebretsen stepped down for health reasons.[3] He reclaimed his position as the first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the 2020 season and was honoured as Player of the Season by the local newspaper Drammens Tidende at the season's conclusion.[4]

On 31 January 2024, Myhra signed a five-year contract with Danish Superliga club OB.[5] He immediately established himself as a starter in goal, but was unable to prevent OB from being relegated to the Danish 1st Division for the first time since 1998.[6][7]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Myhra is a Norway youth international. On 4 October 2021, he received his first call-up to the Norway national team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Turkey and Montenegro on 8 and 11 October, respectively.[8] He did not make his debut.[1]
