Viljormur í Heiðunum Davidsen (born 19 July 1991) is a Faroese professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Faroe Islands Premier League club HB Torshavn and the Faroe Islands national team.

Club career[edit]

Davidsen started his career with FC Fyn in the Danish 1st Division. He had a brief stint at NSÍ Runavík in 2012, but only played three matches, transferring to Norwegian club FK Jerv.[4] After that, he returned to Denmark, moving to FC Fredericia for the remainder of the 2012–13 season.[5]

In August 2013, Davidsen moved to Vejle Boldklub,[6] where he became a key player, making more than 200 appearances for the club.[7]

On 17 January 2022, Davidsen signed a two-year contract with newly-promoted Allsvenskan club Helsingborgs IF.[8] Although he received the club's captain armband during his spell in Sweden, he faced relegation at the end of the 2022 season.[9] In November of the same year, he terminated his contract with the club by mutual consent.[9]

On 5 January 2023, Davidsen officially joined HB Torshavn on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal with the Faroese club and returning to his country of birth after eleven years spent abroad.[10][11]

International career[edit]

A former player of the U-17, U-19 and U-21 teams, Davidsen made his debut for the Faroese senior national team in a friendly against Iceland in 2013. He scored his first goal on 26 March 2019 against Romania in 4–1 away defeat for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying.
