[edit] Club career

His first season was successful, and he played every league match. In 2006 he formed one of Norway's strongest centre back duo with his countryman, Kristján Örn Sigurðsson, together named Örneredet (en: eagles nest).

[edit] International career

Bjarnason has been capped 27 times for Iceland. He made his debut in a friendly match in June 1998 against South Africa as a substitute for Sverrir Sverrisson.
