Club career

B36

Agnarsson is a product of B36 Tórshavn, the team of his hometown Tórshavn. He came through the clubs youth ranks, and signed his first contract with the club in March 2020 at the age of 16, signing a two-year deal.[2] Four months later, in July 2020, he made his first team debut for the club in a game against AB Argir.[3] He made his breakthrough in 2021, becoming a regular starter: he ended the season with 27 appearances though his young age.[4]

Viborg FF

At the end of August 2022, after being spotted during a Conference League between B36 Tórshavn and Viborg FF,[5] the Danish Superliga club announced the official signing of Agnarsson on 1 September 2022, with the player signing a three-year deal.[6][7]

On October 19, 2022, Agnarsson made his debut for Viborg in a Danish Cup game against Ishøj IF.[8] A few days later, on October 24, 2022, he also made his debut in the Danish Superliga, coming on in the final minutes against AaB to replace an injured Oliver Bundgaard.[9][10] But after an unfortunate collision with a teammate, Agnarsson had to sit out for a long time with a broken collarbone and was not cleared to play until the end of May 2023.[11] In July 2023, he again faced a lengthy absence: Agnarsson broke his collarbone again, resulting in surgery that would result in a 6-8 week break.[12]

Personal life

Martin Agnarsson is the younger brother of Hannes Agnarsson, who he played with at B36.[13]
