Simen Axel Stamsø-Møller (born 6 September 1988) is a Norwegian former football forward, as well as a football commentator on national television.
Career
=Early career=
He started his youth career in Lille Tøyen, before he transferred to the local talent club Skeid, at the age of 10. In Skeid he was overshadowed by his older brother, Julian, and when he started at Bjerke Upper Secondary School, he chose to study media and communications, instead of elite sports like his brother. He therefore left Skeid, and signed for Kjelsås.{{cite news|url=http://www.vg.no/sport/fotball/norsk/artikkel.php?artid=10041973|title=TV-kommentator blir Tromsø-spiller|work=Verdens Gang|first=Harald|last=Fjelddalen|language=Norwegian|date=22 October 2010|accessdate=19 March 2011}}
=Kjelsås=
Møller had his breakthrough in Kjelsås in 2009, scoring 20 of the total 38 goals Kjelsås had that season, preventing relegation from the 2009 Norwegian Second Division. The 2010-season started out with injury problems, but he still ended up scoring 16 goals in the league that season. He was then discovered by the Norwegian scout Stig Marius Torbjørnsen, and went to Tromsø on trial.{{cite news|url=http://www.til.no/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/Kjelsaas-spiss-paa-proevespill|title=Kjelsås spiss på prøvespill|work=TIL.no|first=Eirik|last=Haldorsen|language=Norwegian|date=13 September 2010|accessdate=19 March 2011}}
=Tromsø=
On 18 October 2010, he signed a three-year contract with the North Norwegian club.{{cite news|url=http://www.nettavisen.no/sport/fotball/tippeligaen/article3008019.ece|title=Presentert som Tromsø-spiller|work=Nettavisen|first=Terje|last=Alstad|language=Norwegian|date=18 October 2010|accessdate=19 March 2011}} Tromsø manager Per Mathias Høgmo described him as a "goalgetter", and that he would be a great addition to his 2011-squad.{{cite news|url=http://www.til.no/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/Har-signert-en-goalgetter|title=Har signert en goalgetter|work=TIL.no|first=Eirik|last=Haldorsen|language=Norwegian|date=18 October 2010|accessdate=19 March 2011}}
On 4 January 2011, he travelled up north to continue his football career.{{cite news|url=http://www.til.no/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/Nysigneringene-paa-plass|title=Nysigneringene på plass|work=TIL.no|first=Eirik|last=Haldorsen|language=Norwegian|date=4 January 2011|accessdate=19 March 2011}} He made his debut against Tromsdalen in a friendly match in January 2011, coming on in the second half and scored two goals.{{cite news|url=http://www.til.no/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/Ungguttene-imponerte-mot-TUIL|title=Ungguttene imponerte mot TUIL|work=TIL.no|first=Eirik|last=Haldorsen|language=Norwegian|date=20 January 2011|accessdate=19 March 2011}} He came on as a substitute against FC Daugava in the Europa League on 30 June for his first official match. Four days later, in an away match against Fredrikstad FK he was again brought on as a substitute for his first league match.
In 2014, he returned to third-tier Kjelsås.{{cite news |language=Norwegian |title="Maskin" i front - Strømmen |newspaper=Romerikes Blad|page=7|first=Per Morten|last=Sødal|date=7 February 2014}} His job outside of playing was that of football commentator, commenting Italian football for C More. In July 2015 he was hired by TV 2 to work with the Premier League.{{cite web |url=http://www.aftenposten.no/100Sport/fotball/england/TV-2s-nye-Premier-League-kommentator-nekter-a-avslore-favorittlaget-574710_1.snd |title=TV 2s nye Premier League-kommentator nekter å avsløre favorittlaget - Aftenposten |website=www.aftenposten.no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150731040139/http://www.aftenposten.no/100Sport/fotball/england/TV-2s-nye-Premier-League-kommentator-nekter-a-avslore-favorittlaget-574710_1.snd |archive-date=2015-07-31}}
