Eythor Bjørgolfsson

Eythor Bjørgolfsson of Motherwell was born on 25 August 2000 (age 26).

Eythor Bjørgolfsson is a Norwegian striker, born on 25 August 2000 (age 26), now with Motherwell. At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he is an imposing forward, and his current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career so far is shaped far more by Umeå FC than by anything else. In the 2025 league season there, he scored 15 goals in 29 appearances, the clear productive spell on his record and the run that gives his profile most of its substance.

He moved on to Motherwell for the 2026-27 season, where he has made nine league appearances and one in the Scottish Cup. It is still an early Scottish chapter, and the main evidence of his senior career remains that scoring season at Umeå.
