Playing career

Ólafur started his senior team career with ÍR in 1994. In end of December 1997, he went on a tryout with Sheffield Wednesday.[4][5] After a breakout season in 1998,[6][7] he transferred to ÍA prior to the 1999 season. In his first league game with ÍA, he conceded a goal after only 17-seconds.[8] After four seasons with ÍA, he transferred to Valur in 2003.[9] During the 2004 season, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[10]

In 2005, he joined FH but spent most of the season as the substitute goalkeeper, only appeared in one game in the Icelandic Cup.[11] In February 2006, he went on a trial with the Atlanta Silverbacks.[12] He played the 2006 and 2007 seasons on a loan to Þróttur Reykjavík.[13] During the 2007, he helped the team gain promotion to the top-tier Úrvalsdeild karla.[14]

In March 2008, Ólafur announced his retirement from football due to a shoulder injury[15] but in July, he returned to the court and joined ÍR due to an injury to the main goalkeeper of the team, Þorsteinn V. Einarsson.[16] After two games for ÍR, he signed back with Þróttur as a backup goalkeeper.[17]

On 29 July 2009, Ólafur signed with Fylkir after their main goalkeeper, Fjalar Þorgeirsson, broke his arm[18] and appeared in Fylkirs last nine league and cup matches.[19] After sitting out the 2010 season, he signed with Þróttur Reykjavík in July 2011.[19]

On 12 July 2012, Ólafur signed a short-term contract with Valur due to an injury to Sindri Snær Jensson.[20]
