A tall and commanding central defender, Hangeland has made over 40 appearances for Norway as well as representing F.C Copenhagen in the Champions League. He was famously part of the line-up that beat Manchester United 1-0 in the 2006/07 Champions League group phase.Prior to joining FC Copenhagen Hangeland played under Roy Hodgson at FK Viking, where he was made club captain.
Brede signed for Fulham during the 2008 January transfer window and was an inspirational figure at the back for Fulham during their end of season survival battle. On the final day of the season against Portsmouth the defender wassimply faultless.
A natural leader Brede has been touted as a future Fulham captain and was handed the captaincy of Norway in August 2008. Over the course of the 2008/09 season the defender was consistently outstanding and earned several Man of the Match Awards. He scored his first goal for the Club in Fulham's early season league victory over Arsenal. A contender for Fulham's Player of the Season Award.
