Mittbacken has signed a contract that extends over 2.5 years.
“It is a club that belongs in the upper part of Swedish football and you see that when you are at Olympia, a fantastic arena with fantastic fans and support. I hope I can help the team as much as possible. First and foremost with professionalism, winning mentality, experience and leadership qualities. It has been a difficult season but I have great faith that we can reverse the trend and secure a place in the Allsvenskan next season as well “, says Rogne in a comment on HIF’s website.
The Norwegian is a familiar face to the Allsvenskan audience as he previously played for IFK Gothenburg.
Rogne last played for Greek Apollon Smyrnis and has before, after Blåvitt, also played for Polish Lech Poznan.
“We are happy to bring in an experienced midfielder at a good age. Thomas will contribute with leadership qualities and routine in a team where we currently have young players. He now has just over two weeks of training to get to know the team and get into the group before he is ready to play “, says HIF’s sports manager Andreas Granqvist.
Rogne is ready to play for his new club on July 15.
HIF is last in the Allsvenskan and stands on five points after twelve rounds played.
