Eythor Bjørgolfsson

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

Eythor Bjørgolfsson, born on 25 August 2000 (age 25), is a Norwegian striker with Motherwell. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m), he is the sort of centre-forward whose physical profile is obvious before the finer details are considered.

His career to this point is shaped most clearly by Umea FC. In the 2025 season he scored 15 league goals in 29 appearances, a return that stands well above anything else in his senior record so far. That spell gave him a proper platform rather than just another line on the CV.

At Motherwell in 2025-26, Bjørgolfsson has made 10 appearances in all competitions, scoring once, with nine of those outings coming in the league and one in the Scottish Cup. His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.

For now, he remains a developing striker whose most productive work has come at Umea FC, with Motherwell the next test of whether that scoring spell can travel.

Eythor Bjørgolfsson has been used as a late-game option for Motherwell in the Premiership, with nine league appearances, all from the bench. One goal from that workload gives him some output, but the absence of starts points to a striker still outside the first-choice structure rather than a central attacking piece.

Eythor Bjørgolfsson’s recent career path shows a move through Moss, Umea FC and now Motherwell by age 25. The standout number is 15 goals in 2025 before his switch to Scotland, but his current role is more restricted, suggesting he is still trying to turn that scoring record into regular Premiership minutes.
