Maximiliano Bajter Ugollini (born 1 March 1986 in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan football player currently playing for Brann in the Norwegian Premier League.

Career

Uruguay

Bajter began his professional career at Montevideo-based club Peñarol where he played between 2006 and 2010, winning the Primera División in his last year. Despite being successful, in terms of trophies and personal performance, he was plagued with injuries in his later years at Peñarol. The club, therefore, allowed him to rebuild form at another Montevideo club Fénix on loan, where he played until early summer of 2011.^[1]

Norway

On 18 July 2011, Bajter arrived in Bergen where he signed a loan contract until the end of the 2011 Norwegian Premier League season with SK Brann. At the end of the year, Brann have the option to make Bajter a permanent signing.^[2] Uruguay-based Norwegian football agent Terje Liverød—who has previously been involved in several transfers of Uruguayan players to Europe, including Bajter's new Brann team mate Diego Guastavino—was the main driving force behind the transfer.^[3]

He made his debut for the Bergen club on 4 August 2011 in the Vestlandsderby against Viking FK after coming on for an injured Zsolt Korcsmár in the second half.^[4]

Trivia

Bajter has a wife and a two-year old daughter who have both moved to Norway with him.^[5]

He signed his Brann contract on 18 July, Jura de la Constitución de la República Oriental del Uruguay (Uruguay's constitution day). So, when he was offered 18 as his squad number, he said that "it felt completely natural."^[6]
