Career

Novak played youth football at Austrått and Ålgård, before starting his senior career with the latter in 2014.[2] Ahead of the 2017 season, he joined Viking's youth setup. A year later he was promoted to the senior squad,[3] but a knee injury kept him on the sideline for most of the 2018 season.[4] In 2019, he moved to Sola, and then Grorud. After two seasons with Grorud, he signed a contract with Jerv in January 2021.[2][5] On 3 April 2022, he made his Eliteserien debut in a 1–0 win against Strømsgodset.[2]

Personal life

He is the son of a Norwegian mother and Croatian father. He hails from Håbafjell in Sandnes and is the older brother of Norwegian international handballer Kristina Novak.[6]
