Marel Jóhann Baldvinsson (born December 18, 1980) is an Icelandic football attacker, who currently plays for Breiðablik.

[edit] Club career

He started his career in Breiðablik, but moved to Norway early in his career. After a fruitless trial with Rosenborg BK, he signed with Stabæk. In January 2003 he moved to the Belgian club Lokeren, a club with many Icelandic players on their roster at the time.

In 2006 he was forced to cut short his career as a professional footballer due to injury. [1] He rejoined Breiðablik in his native Iceland. After many impressive displays in the 2006 season, he was recalled into the Icelandic national team to face Spain in August 2006. A few days later he returned to professional football when he signed for Norwegian club Molde.

In 2007, after two seasons at Molde, Baldvinsson had his contract terminated. On December 30, 2007, Baldvinsson signed a three-year contract Breiðablik, starting his third stint at the club.

[edit] International career

Baldvinsson made his debut for Iceland in an August 2001 friendly match against Poland, coming on as a substitute for Tryggvi Guðmundsson. He has played 14 internationals, as well as 16 times at youth level.
