Torbjørn "Toby" Agdestein (born 18 September 1991) is a Norwegian professional footballer who currently plays as a striker for Odd in the Norwegian Premier League.
Agdestein started his career at Stord IL, playing 35 games and scoring 16 goals.
In 2010, Agdestein was transferred to English club Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee and featured in the development squad. Agdestein made his first competitive appearance for Brighton during an FA Cup 3rd round replay against Wrexham. Three days later, he made his first league appearance for Brighton coming on as a second-half substitute and providing an assist to Will Buckley in a 2–1 victory at Peterborough United. Towards the end of the 2010-11 season, Agdestein had his Brighton contract extended for one-year.
During September 2011, Agdestein joined Conference National side Bath City on loan. However, making three appearance, Agdestein returned to Brighton.
Following his return from Bath City, Agdestein soon played regularly in the reserve team and in March 2012, signed a two-year contract.
On 26 July 2013, Agdestein left Brighton after his contract was terminated by mutual consent despite having one-year left to run. After leaving the club, Agdestein said manager Óscar García had never seen him play.
Torbjorn was widely known as being the most attractive player in the Brighton squad during his time at the club.
Agdestein signed for Inverness CT in July 2013 on a six- month contract, the club beating off competition from Viking. However, Agdestein suffered a lack of playing time due to the form of Billy McKay and only made one start. Despite a desire to sign a new contract, Agdestein left the club when his contract expired and his agent said he was in talks with English clubs.
