Erik Nevland (born 10 November 1977 in Stavanger, Norway) is a Norwegian football striker who currently plays for Fulham in the English Premier League. He has 2 caps for Norway, and 22 caps at U-21 level.
Nevland started his career at Viking FK, but in 1997 he was sold to Manchester United at the age of 19, before he had played a single first team match for the Norwegian side. What prompted Manchester United to sign him was a succession of hat-tricks in 3 games when he was on trial with them. His only goal for the United first team was in a Worthington Cup match against Bury in 1999. He never managed to establish himself in the United team, with a successful loan spell at Viking and an unsuccessful one at IFK Göteborg. He returned to Viking on a permanent contract in 2000, winning the Norwegian cup final in 2001 and scoring the two deciding goals in their famous UEFA Cup victory over Chelsea in 2002. He joined FC Groningen on a free transfer in November 2004, and has since become a cult hero. In his first half-season for his new club he scored 16 times in 20 matches. Nevland also scored the first ever goal in FC Groningen's new Euroborg stadium.
On 27 April 2007, Nevland signed a new three-year contract with FC Groningen. In December 2007, Nevland was voted 'Groninger of the Year' by television viewers in the province of Groningen, in spite of him not being born in Groningen.
On 29 January 2008 he signed with struggling Premier League side Fulham for a fee of €2.5 million (£1.85 million), plus a further €0.5 million (£370k) if Fulham stays in the Premier League.
On 03 February 2008 he got his Premiership debut when Fulham played Aston Villa at Craven Cottage.
