Ármann Björnsson (born 7 January 1981 in Höfn) is an Icelandic footballer, currently playing for SK Brann in Norway.
Club career
Born in Höfn, southeast Iceland, he started his club career at local outfit UMF Sindri 1996 when he was 15 years old. In 1998 he was top scorer in D-division with 32 goals. In 2001 he joined Valur and in 2002 he was loaned out to SK Brann, and showed himself to be the club's most effective striker. But over-prizing from his club Valur, and the hiring of a new manager in Brann, spoiled a permanent transfer to Norway for Björnsson. He returned to Iceland, where he won the Icelandic Premier League in three consecutive years with FH Hafnarfjarðar.
On August 21 2006, SK Brann confirmed that Björnsson was ready for his 2nd spell in the Norwegian club. He signed a 3 year contract with the Norwegian club after they agreed to pay an undisclosed fee to FH for his services. He was one match short of receiving the Premiership-silver medal.
International career
After a string of impressive displays in the 2006 season, Björnsson earned his first international cap for Iceland when he came on as a substitute against Spain in a friendly in Reykjavík on August 15 2006. His second cap was also against Spain as a substitute, this time in the qualifying for the Euro 2008 on September 8 2007. In the third game he started against Northern-Ireland and scored after six minutes, Iceland won 2-1.
