Career

Beginnings in Iceland and England

Helgi Valur Daníelsson began his professional career in 1998 with a use for Fylkir Reykjavík in the Icelandic second division. In the same year, the English Football League club Peterborough United noticed him and signed the 17-year-old, who was to play a total of 71 League One games for the club. In the meantime, however, Helgi was loaned back to his parent club, which had now risen to the Landsbankadeild , and completed 16 games for Fylkir, where he was runner-up with the team.

Meanwhile advanced to the Icelandic national player, Helgi moved back to Iceland in 2003, where he played again for Fylkir until 2005.

Helgi Daníelsson in Sweden and Germany

In 2006 he finally moved to Sweden, where he joined the Allsvenskan participant Östers IF and played a total of 20 games in the 2006 season , but was relegated to the Superettan, Sweden's second-highest division. After 28 appearances for Östers IF in the 2007 Superettan season , Helgi then moved to IF Elfsborg in Sweden , for which he played a total of 50 games in the 2008 and 2009 seasons , which also attracted the interest of German second division club Hansa Rostock . A move sought in the summer of 2009, however, initially failed until shortly after the end of the winter break in the 2009/10 season the Icelander was transferred to Rostock, where Garðar Jóhannsson, a second Icelander, was also committed. Hansa paid a transfer fee of 350,000 euros for Helgi and an additional training allowance of 18,000 euros to Elfsborg. Despite these newcomers, Rostock was relegated to the 3rd league at the end of the season , so Helgi Daníelsson's engagement in Rostock ended after just six months.

In the summer of 2010 Helgi then signed a contract for three and a half years with the traditional Swedish club AIK , which signed him and Robert Åhman-Persson , Goran Ljubojević and Admir Ćatović as new forces in the relegation battle . Used by coach Alex Miller in several different positions until the end of the season , he helped to stay up as a regular player. As a regular player, he was then significantly involved in the upswing of the club under Miller's successor Andreas Alm , which was runner-up behind Helsingborgs IF in the 2011 season . In the following season he had to take a break due to injury, then he was again a regular player. In the summer of 2013 he left the club six months before the contract expired and joined the four-time Portuguese champions Belenenses Lisbon .
