Former Vermont Green FC striker Eythor Bjorgolfsson has signed with Motherwell of the Scottish Premiership. The striker scored six goals in 10 games for the Green in 2022.
“Eythor’s profile has been identified by our recruitment department as a strong match for us,” Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou said in a statement. "Watching him extensively, getting really good recommendations through our network in Scandinavia and looking at his standout data, we strongly believe that Eythor will be a valuable and strong addition to the team.
The 25-year-old has arrived in Scotland following his departure from Swedish side Umeå FC, where he scored 15 goals in 29 appearances.
Born in Jessheim, Norway, Bjørgolfsson began his career with Norwegian side Ullensaker/Kisa IL Youth before moving to the United States to play collegiately. After his summer in Burlington, the striker was drafted by the Seattle Sounders in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft. He mostly featured for the club's MLS NEXT Pro side the Tacoma Defiance.
“Having watched the previous games, the way the team are playing is something I’m excited to be involved in," Bjorgolfsson said in a satement. "There has been so much success here so far this season, and hopefully I can make a quick impact. This is a new adventure for me, and I’m looking forward to my time here at Motherwell."
