[edit] Club career
Viðarsson joined Everton from Icelandic side FH Hafnarfjörður in the summer of 2004. He has spent the majority of his time with the academy side and the reserves, before training with the first team. He was an unused substitute in the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St. James' Park in late February 2006. One month later he signed his first professional contract at Everton, signing a two year deal.
On 5 February 2007 he joined Bournemouth on loan for a month. Viðarsson was deployed not in his natural center midfield position, by manager Kevin Bond, but on the left of midfield. He scored one goal in his spell with Bournemouth before he was recalled by Everton because of an injury to Tim Cahill.
Viðarsson made his senior debut for Everton on 20 December 2007 as a substitute in the UEFA Cup, away to AZ.[1]
On 29 January 2008 it was announced that Viðarsson would join Dutch side FC Twente on loan.[2]
On 14 May 2008 he signed for Twente on a permanent basis.
In the summer of 2009 (August) Vidarsson signed a four year deal to sign for Belgium Jupilar League Team Ksv Roeselare, making his debut in a 5-1 defeat to Ghent.
