Guðlaugur Victor Pálsson (born 30 April 1991) is an Icelandic professional footballer who currently plays for N.E.C. in the Eredivisie on loan from New York Red Bulls. He has previously played for Liverpool, Dagenham & Redbridge and Hibernian. Pálsson has also represented Iceland at youth international levels.

Career

Club

Pálsson was born in Reykjavik to an Icelandic mother and a Portuguese father. He played for Fjölnir but he decided to move to the neighbouring club Fylkir to get a chance to play on higher level. He then moved to Danish side AGF Aarhus in 2007.

Pálsson joined Premier League team Liverpool in 2009. He played for Liverpool reserves and served as team captain but failed to make the breakthrough into the first-team.[3] He went on loan to Dagenham & Redbridge in November 2010,[4][5] making his debut for the Daggers in the 1st round of the FA Cup in a 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient.[6] He made three appearances for the club, including an FA Cup tie, before returning to Liverpool.

On 28 January 2011, Pálsson signed an 18-month contract with Scottish Premier League club Hibernian.[3][7] Palsson was given squad number 91, since 1991 was his birth-year. He made his debut in a 3–0 defeat against Dundee United two days later.[8] Pálsson scored his first goal for the club with a penalty in a 2–1 win against Kilmarnock on 12 February.[9] Palsson played regularly under the management of Colin Calderwood, but featured less regularly after Calderwood was replaced by Pat Fenlon.[10] On 10 January 2012, Hibernian announced that Pálsson had left the club with immediate effect after an agreement was reached to cancel his contract.[10][11]

Sky Sports reported on 24 January 2012 that Pálsson was close to agreeing to terms with Major League Soccer club New York Red Bulls.[12] The signing was confirmed by New York on 10 February 2012.[13] Palsson did not command a regular starting place in the New York starting lineup during the 2012 season.[14] In August 2012, the club loaned Palsson to Eredivisie club N.E.C. until May 2013.[15]

International

Pálsson has represented Iceland at the Under 19 and Under 21 level. He helped Iceland qualify to the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship.
