Career

Norway

Solli made his senior debut for Odd Grenland in the 2000 Tippeligaen season and made five appearances, all as a substitute, in his first season. In total, he played 54 league games for the club over three and a half seasons – but failed to score – and helped Odd reach the 2002 Norwegian Cup final, where they were beaten 1–0 by Vålerenga. His play with Odd Grenland led to interest from various European clubs including Aston Villa, and AC Milan, with which he had a training stint.[1]

Solli joined Rosenborg BK of Trondheim in the summer of 2003 and made four starts and ten substitute appearances in the second half of that season as the club won a 12th consecutive league title. During his first season with Rosenborg he scored his first-ever league goal against Viking FK on 23 August 2003, in his fifth full season as a professional footballer. He was also a regular in the ensuing European campaigns for Rosenborg BK and scored an important first-leg goal against Maccabi Haifa F.C. in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round in August 2004. He also played an integral role in helping Rosenborg win the 2004 and 2006 league title.

On 16 March 2007, Solli signed a three year deal with SK Brann. The transfer fee was NOK 6,000,000. Solli's first season for SK Brann was a huge success. In partnership with his former Rosenborg BK colleague Thorstein Helstad, he became an integral part of Brann's title winning squad, and earned a spot on Norway's national squad. During the 2009 season Solli's play with SK Brann once again led to him receiving interest from other European sides which included German Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln.[2]

United States

Solli signed with Major League Soccer club New York Red Bulls on 24 January 2011.[3] He made his official debut for New York on 19 March 2011, in the Red Bulls' 2011 MLS season opener, a 1–0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC.[4]

International

Solli made his debut for Norway in an friendly game against Scotland on 20 August 2003 and scored his only international goal in a 3–2 win against Russia on 28 April 2004. He was capped 40 times.[5] Solli also represented Norway at Under-18 and U-21 level.

Solli has stated that he will likely not accept international call-ups while with New York Red Bulls due to travel difficulties.
