Club career

Andri started his career with local club Breiðablik in Kópavogur before going on loan to Bologna in January 2019.[1][2] He impressed and was bought by Bologna in August 2019.[3] Andri made his debut in Serie A on 22 February 2020, coming on as a 59th-minute substitute for Andreas Skov Olsen in a 1–1 draw against Udinese,[4] becoming the fifth Icelander to ever play in Serie A.[5] In 2020 Andri was the youngest Icelandic player to play in the top five leagues in Europe.[6]

On 23 August 2021, Danish Superliga club Copenhagen confirmed that Andri had joined the club on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy.[7] After a season of limited playing time due to injuries - only eight appearances - he returned to Bologna at the end of the season.[8][9]

On 6 July 2022, Andri joined NEC in the Netherlands on a season-long loan with an option to buy.[10]

On 10 August 2023, Andri moved on a new loan to IF Elfsborg in Sweden.[11]
