Ruud Tveter joined Fredrikstad ahead of the 2011 season and signed a three-year contract with the club.{{cite news |url=http://www.nettavisen.no/sport/fotball/tippeligaen/article3051507.ece |language=Norwegian |title=FFK sikret seg stortalent |publisher=Nettavisen |date=21 December 2010 |accessdate=23 November 2012}} Ruud Tveter started his first match in Tippeligaen and scored his first goal when Fredrikstad lost 2–1 against Stabæk on 25 April 2011.{{cite web |url=http://www.siste.no/fotball/article5582364.ece |language=Norwegian |title=Stabæk vant enkelt |work=siste.no |date=25 April 2011 |accessdate=23 November 2012}}

After Fredrikstad loaned Henri Anier from Viking on the last day of the Norwegian winter transfer window, the club decided to let Ruud Tveter return his old club Follo, as his development had not been as the club expected, after a good first half season.{{cite news |url=http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/distrikt/ostfold/1.10975407 |language=Norwegian |title=Ruud Tveter er ferdig i FFK |publisher=NRK |first=Sebastian |last=Nordli |date=5 April 2013 |accessdate=7 April 2013}}
