Career

Playing

Born in Garður, he started his career with his hometown club Víðir before joining Keflavík in 2001. After spending a year in the club's reserve team, Guðjón made his league debut for Keflavík in the 2–2 draw with Grindavík on 8 July 2002. Over the following ten seasons, he went on to make more than 200 appearances for the side in all competitions and was involved in both the 2004 and 2006 Icelandic Cup finals, both of which ended in wins for Keflavík. He also gained experience of playing in Europe as the team qualified for the UEFA Cup and the Intertoto Cup. On 22 March 2009, he made his international debut for Iceland in the 1–2 friendly defeat to the Faroe Islands.

Guðjón joined FH ahead of the 2012 season and played every league game as the club won its first Icelandic league title in three years. In 2015 he returned to Keflavík where he spent a further two seasons before retiring from injury in May 2017.[1]

Coaching

After retiring from football, Antoníusson took charge of 2. deild karla side Víðir in June 2017.[2] After a successful first season, in which the club finished third in the league, he signed a new one-year contract extension in September 2017.[3]
