Julian Bakkeli Gonstad (born 29 June 2006) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a striker for KFUM.
Career He hails from Skreia. He played youth football for Skreia IL, partially on a cooperative team with Kolbu/KK. After the 2020 season he joined the academy of Hamkam in 2021, and also made his debut as a Norway youth international that year.
Gonstad had a successful year for youth and B teams in 2023, ending the season with a hat-trick for Hamkam 2 against Raufoss 2. Despite also making his Eliteserien debut in 2023, he did not break through in Hamkam's first team. In August 2024 he was therefore loaned out to third-tier club Eidsvold Turn. He returned in late October 2024.
Gonstad's first Eliteserien goal, a penalty against Viking in April 2025, was overshadowed by Hamkam losing the game 2–5. Amid rumours of interest shown by larger clubs, Gonstad penned a long-term contract with Hamkam in May 2025. Nonetheless, he was still not a regular starter and was loaned out to Raufoss IL in August. He immediately scored, followed by a decisive goal in an away victory over Odd.
International career He was a squad member for both the 2024 and 2025 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
