Eythor Bjørgolfsson

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

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

The substantial part of his senior record so far came at Umea FC. In the 2025 season he scored 15 league goals in 29 appearances, a clear productive spell rather than a scattered line on the CV. For a striker still building a career, that is the period that gives the record its shape.

He is now at Motherwell, where his 2026-27 campaign has brought nine league appearances and one Scottish Cup appearance. His career to date is still fairly compact: a strong scoring season at Umea FC followed by the move into Scottish football with Motherwell.
