Viðar played a vital part in the Chinese FA cup, and was the club's top goalscorer in the cup with 4 goals, which helped Jiangsu to win their first trophy in history of the club.[citation needed]

On 27 January 2016, he signed for Swedish club Malmö FF.[5][6]

On 30 August 2016 he transferred to Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv. He signed a four-year deal with the club. On 26 October 2016 Viðar won the Swedish championship as Malmö FF sealed the title in his absence.
