Club career[edit]
In October 2021, Guðnason went on trial with Danish side Odense Boldklub, playing in one game for the under-15 side, scoring twice and notching an assist in a 3–1 win.[1] Despite this, he remained with his club, Njarðvík, and made his debut the following year, becoming the club's youngest player at fourteen years, eleven months and eleven days old, when he came on as a second-half substitute in Njarðvík's 6–0 win over Ægir in the 2. deild karla on 22 June 2022.[2] In October of the same year, he signed his first contract with the club, a three-year deal, following three further league appearances.[3]
The following season, he scored his first goal for the club; in Njarðvík's 1. deild karla fixture against Grindavík on 29 July 2023, Guðnason was brought on as a substitute for Belgian teammate Oumar Diouck with two minutes remaining, and four minutes later he scored past Grindavík goalkeeper Aron Dagur Birnuson from six yards.[4]
International career[edit]
Guðnason has represented Iceland at under-15 and under-16 level.[5][6]
