Berglind Björg Thorvaldsdóttir comes closest from playing with Le Havre in French Division 1 Féminine.
Her contract with Hammarby extends over 2022.
-
My goal now is to help the club reach as high as possible and qualify us for the European Games.
I look forward to getting started with the team in earnest and am ready to drive right away, she says to the club's website.
The 29-year-old has played 52 A-national matches for Iceland and played in the European Championships in 2017. Iceland is also qualified for next year's European Championships and this after Berglind scored the only goal of the match against Hungary in the qualifiers in December 2020.
"Looking for players with top qualities"
Hammarby's sports director Johan Lager is satisfied with the new acquisition.
- We have felt that the squad is a bit thin and have been looking for players with top qualities that fit in with us.
We have followed Berglind for over a year and have made previous attempts to recruit her.
Therefore, it feels extra nice to have her in place.
He is an experienced player with great merits from both club and national teams.
She has always scored a lot of goals, which of course we hope she continues with in Hammarby, says Lager.
Hammarby, which is third in the damallsvenskan, will meet Eskilstuna on Friday when the dammallsvenskan is resumed.
