Career
Jørgen Vik started his career at Tromsdalen at seven years old and got his senior debut in 2005.{{cite news|url=https://www.itromso.no/sport/i/QmvQ6q/joergen-27-og-fredrik-26-har-ikke-gitt-opp-droemmen-om-comeback-og-treneren-sier-ikke-nei|title=Jørgen (27) og Fredrik (26) har ikke gitt opp drømmen om comeback – og treneren sier ikke nei|language=no|last=Robertsen|first=Rune|publisher=iTromsø|date=27 April 2017|access-date=12 February 2025}} After not being able to establish himself in the senior squad, Vik moved on and had two different spells at both Lyngen/Karnes and Finnsnes.{{NFF|3802482}} Ahead of the 2014 season, Vik returned to play for Tromsdalen, this time playing in the 1. Divisjon, the highest level he would play at through his career.{{cite news|url= https://www.folkebladet.no/sport/i/RyRa5O/keeper-jorgen-vik-klar-for-tuil|title=Keeper Jørgen Vik klar for TUIL|language=no|last=Carlsen|first=Jørund Wessel|publisher=Folkebladet|date=10 January 2014|access-date=12 February 2025}} After two seasons at Tromsdalen, he once again returned to Lyngen/Karnes, in a new role as a player-coach.{{cite news|url=https://www.itromso.no/sport/i/bn1rG5/tromsdalen-keeper-trapper-ned-for-aa-spille-4-divisjon|title=Tromsdalen-keeper trapper ned for å spille 4.-divisjon|language=no|last=Eilertsen|first=Tobias Stein|publisher=iTromsø|date=12 January 2016|access-date=12 February 2025}} His last season was split between Skjervøy in the spring and returning once again to Lyngen/Karnes in the autumn.{{cite news|url=https://www.itromso.no/sport/i/2daaAr/joergen-vik-28-klar-for-4-divisjonsklubb|title=Jørgen Vik (28) klar for 4.-divisjonsklubb|language=no|last=Rydland|first=Mats|publisher=iTromsø|date=13 July 2018|access-date=12 February 2025}} After getting signed on as head coach for Skjervøy, he played his final game, a cup tie, against his old club Lyngen/Karnes, winning 7-1.{{cite web|url=https://www.fotball.no/fotballdata/kamp/?fiksId=7174814|title=Kampreferat: Lyngen/Karnes - Skjervøy|language=no|publisher=NFF|access-date=12 February 2025}}
Simultaneously as Vik was playing football, he also played futsal for Sjarmtrollan, playing regularly in the Norwegian Futsal Premier League from 2015 until his final games in 2020. The team, with Vik as goalkeeper won the league both in 2016/2017, and 2018/2019.{{cite web|url=https://www.fotball.no/turneringer/eliteserien-futsal/2019/futsal-seriegull-til-sjarmtrollan/|title=Futsal: Seriegull til Sjarmtrollan|language=no|publisher=NFF|last=Sæteren|first=Thomas Brekke|date=10 March 2019|access-date=12 February 2025}} His performances got him called up to the Norway national futsal team, where he was capped fifteen times between 2017 and 2019.
Coaching career
=Lyngen/Karnes=
Vik's first coaching job was as a player-coach for Lyngen/Karnes ahead of the 2016 season. The club worked with a coaching group consisting of Vik, Øyvind Garfjell, and Cato Larsen. Vik left his position to play for 3. divisjon side Skjervøy after two years at the club.
After his first spell as player-coach for the club, Vik returned in the same position, this time in a team with Ole Talberg, for the latter half of the 2018 season.
=Skjervøy=
After Vik's second spell as player-coach for Lyngen/Karnes, he was announced as Skjervøy's new head coach before the 2019 season.{{cite news|url=https://www.framtidinord.no/nyheter/i/O38Maq/jorgen-vik-overtar-etter-eline-torneus|title=Jørven Vik overtar etter Eline Torneus|language=no|publisher=Framtidinord|date=18 December 2018|access-date=12 February 2025}}
=Tromsø=
After two seasons as head coach for Skjervøy, Vik did not sign a new contract with the club and instead started working for Tromsø, this time in a new role as the assistant manager to Gaute Helstrup.{{cite news|url=https://www.aftenposten.no/sport/fotball/i/pAdmgj/siste-joergen-30-og-baard-vegard-31-blir-til-trenere|title=SISTE: Jørgen (30) og Bård Vegard (31) blir TIL-trenere|language=no|last1=Dreyer|first1=Steffen|last2=Sivertsen|first2=Øyvind|publisher=Aftenposten|date=6 January 2021|access-date=12 February 2025}}
Ahead of Tromsø’s 2024 season, Vik was promoted to head coach, after Helstrup left the club.
At the time of his appointment, it was reported that Vik didn’t have the right pro license to coach a club in the Eliteserien, and that he would need someone else in his coaching team to fulfil this.{{cite news|url=https://www.vg.no/sport/i/veL8wl/joergen-vik-tar-over-som-hovedtrener-i-tromsoe|title=Jørgen Vik tar over som hovedtrener i Tromsø|language=no|last=Christiansen|first=Synne Sofie|publisher=VG|date=8 January 2024|access-date=12 February 2025}}{{cite news|url=https://www.nrk.no/tromsogfinnmark/blir-ny-hovedtrener-i-tromso-idrettslag-1.16706127|title=Jørgen Vik ny hovedtrener i Tromsø idrettslag: – Jeg gleder meg til å komme i gang|language=no|last1=Andreassen|first1=Hans Ludvig|last2=Einangshaug|first2=Henrik|last3=Åsali|first3=Sveinung|publisher=NRK|date=8 January 2025|access-date=12 February 2025}} Only weeks after his appointment, Tromsø announced Gard Holme as the new co-head coach, to fulfil the licensing paperwork, making Vik and Holme equal on paper.{{cite news|url=https://www.vg.no/sport/i/5BxWa1/gard-holme-blir-sidestilt-hovedtrener-i-tromsoe|title=Gard Holme blir sidestilt hovedtrener i Tromsø|language=no|publisher=VG|date=21 January 2024|access-date=12 February 2025}}{{cite news|url=https://www.til.no/nyheter/hovedtrenerteamet-er-komplett|title=Hovedtrenerteamet er komplett|language=no|publisher=Tromsø IL|date=21 January 2024|access-date=12 February 2025}} The season started abysmally for the coaching duo, with five straight losses in the league, while also exiting the Norwegian Cup against Vålerenga. Through the summer, the club picked up more points, and at the end of the season, barely avoided relegation.{{cite news|url=https://www.nettavisen.no/sport/tromso-krisen-fortsetter-viking-vant-etter-straffe-pa-overtid/s/5-95-1801623|title=Tromsø-krisen fortsetter: Viking vant etter straffe på overtid|language=no|last=de Wahl|first=Stian André|publisher=Nettavisen|date=5 May 2024|access-date=12 February 2025}}{{cite news|url=https://www.vg.no/sport/i/Av2k1E/cupgranat-paa-valle-tromsoe-med-nok-et-tap|title=Cupgranat på Valle – Tromsø med nok et tap|language=no|last=Schjesvold|first=Fredrik|publisher=VG|date=1 May 2024|access-date=12 February 2025}}{{cite web|url=https://www.fotball.no/fotballdata/turnering/tabell/?fiksId=192924|title=Eliteserien - 2024 - Tabell|language=no|publisher=NFF|access-date=12 February 2025}}
Before the start of the next season, Tromsø announced that they had parted way with co-head coach Holme, and that Vik would remain as the sole head coach for the upcoming season. This was possible as Vik was announced as one of several Norwegian coaches picked for the UEFA Pro Licence course starting in 2025.{{cite news|url=https://www.nettavisen.no/sport/gard-holme-forlater-tromso-il-klubben-dropper-trenerlosning/s/5-95-2223976|title=Gard Holme forlater Tromsø – klubben dropper trenerløsning|language=no|publisher=Nettavisen|date=8 January 2025|access-date=12 February 2025}}{{cite news|url=https://fotballtreneren.no/2024/11/10/her-er-uttaket-til-uefa-pro-uefa-a-og-uefa-spillerutvikler-a-lisens/|title=Her er uttaket til UEFA PRO-, UEFA A- og UEFA Spillerutvikler A-lisens|language=no|last=Thoresen|first=Ivar|publisher=Fotballtreneren|date=10 November 2024|access-date=12 February 2025}}
