The 25-year-old arrived in Scotland following his departure from Swedish side Umeå FC, where he netted 15 goals in 29 appearances and became Jens Berthel Askou’s first signing of 2026.

Born in Jessheim, Norway, Bjørgolfsson began his career with Norwegian side Ullensaker/Kisa IL Youth before moving to the United States to join the Kentucky Wildcats at the age of 18, where he also furthered his education.

Scoring five goals in his freshman year, which consisted of three starts and 19 appearances, he continued to thrive in his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, taking his goal count to 24 for the Wildcats in total. He netted ten goals in his senior year.

Successful loan spells with Lardo FC and Vermont Green aided Bjørgolfsson in being drafted by MLS side Seattle Sounders in December 2022. Scoring six goals in ten games for Vermont Green, his career continued to travel in an upward trajectory as he made his Seattle Sounders debut against LA Galaxy in the U.S. Open Cup in May 2023 and spent most of the 2023 season with Tacoma Defiance, Seattle’s second team, where he continued to find the back of the net regularly.

In March 2024, Bjørgolfsson returned to Norway to join Moss FK in the second tier. Scoring three goals in 18 games, he joined IK Start six months later in the Norwegian top-flight before returning to Moss three months later.

His goalscoring record ensured a number of clubs were interested in securing his signature, with Bjørgolfsson opting for Umeå FC in Sweden, where, despite his side being relegated, he found the back of the net 15 times during the season. Eight of those goals came in his last five games for the club, with the forward finishing on a high by netting a hat-trick in his last game.
