Hannes Sigurðsson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hannes Sigurðsson (born April 10, 1983 in Reykjavík) is an Icelandic football player who, as of August 2006, plays for Brøndby IF.
A powerful 189 cm, 90 kg striker, Sigurdsson started his professional career with FH Hafnarfjordur in 2001, scoring one goal in eleven matches. He moved to Norway to play for Viking in 2002, and although he came on as a substitute to score twice on his debut, he spent the best part of his first three seasons in Norway on the substitutes' bench. While he played in 55 matches during these three years, he only started in six of these. However, Sigurdsson emerged as a supersub, racking up twelve goals to make him the most efficient player in the Norwegian League with one goal every 72 minutes in 2002 and 2003. He emerged as a regular starter in 2005, when he also got his national team debut against Italy in March.
In July 2005 he signed for the English club Stoke City F.C. on a Bosman transfer, and he joined his new club in October 2005. He scored one goal in twenty-nine matches in his first season.
On 30 August 2006 Sigurdsson signed a deal with Danish Superliga runners-up Brøndby IF, after he was deemed surplus to requirements by Stoke manager Tony Pulis.
