Vitesse's Marcus Pedersen Brann Bound
Pedersen is returning to his native land.

Vitesse have announced the departure of striker Marcus Pedersen who has signed for Norwegian outfit SK Brann.

The 24-year-old signed for Vitesse in 2010 from Strømsgodset, but only made 27 appearances in the Netherlands, scoring on six occasions.

Pedersen then spent loan spells at Vålerenga, Odense and Barnsley. He has now signed for Brann for an undisclosed fee.

Vitesse technical director Mo Allach told the club's official website: "Marcus is a player with very specific qualities. We are delighted he has found a more suitable club.

"We wish Mark every success with his new club and wish him the best for the rest of his career".

The player himself told SK Brann's website: "I am glad that the transfer is complete and I'm very much looking forward to meeting my new team mates and getting started with my Brann career.

"I like playing at Brann Stadion and I know it will be better to play in the red jersey with the home fans behind us.

"The goal is to help the Rødtrøyene improve their league position. That will be done".
