Pétur was in the youth department of Íþróttabandalag Akraness until 1976 . In 1976/1977 he joined the first team of his home club.

In his first season he was able to win the national championship title of the highest Icelandic league with the Skagamenn . His achievements did not go unnoticed by the European mainland teams, and so there was a move to the Dutch Eredivisie , to Feyenoord Rotterdam , in the summer of 1978 .

Although he played regularly there in three years and scored goals, he was allowed to move to RSC Anderlecht in Belgium for the summer transfer period of 1981 , where he was runner-up at the end of the season. But after only one year there, Pétur joined league rivals Royal Antwerp , where he stayed for two years before returning to Feyenoord for another year. Then Pétur said goodbye to Spain, to the then second division club Hércules CF , where he stayed until 1987 with a short break. Then he moved back to the home island and KR Reykjavík secured the services of the striker. After four years with the capital city club, he ended his active professional career in 1991.
