Career

edit

Garðar was born in Garðabær. Fredrikstad bought him for 2 million NOK in August 2006,[2] only a month after he was bought for 100.000 NOK by an Icelandic club.[3] Because Garðar had played for KR Reykjavík and Valur after 1 July 2006, he had to wait almost one year before he could play matches for Fredrikstad.[2]

Garðar made his debut in Tippeligaen against Vålerenga on 26 May 2007, where he scored the only goal of the match. He scored 18 goals in 58 matches for Fredrikstad.[4] On 22 January 2010, he joined 2. Bundesliga club Hansa Rostock.

Garðar later played for Strømsgodset, where he played six matches and scored one goal in the 2010 season.[4]
