Samúel Friðjónsson comes from the youth of Keflavík ÍF . From 2013 he was used for the club's first team in the first Icelandic league and in the league cup.

In the summer of 2013, the Icelander was signed by the English second division club Reading FC and used in their youth teams in the Premier League 2 . With the U18 he failed in the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup .

For the 2016 season, Samúel Friðjónsson moved to the first Norwegian league for Vålerenga Oslo . Due to a knee injury, however, he missed this season completely and could only be active for the club in the following season . He came to thirteen competitive appearances (two goals) for the professionals in the league and cup and nine games for the second team (one goal).

After another season, in which the Icelander made it to the quarter-finals with Vålerenga, he switched to the first division promoted Viking Stavanger for the 2019 season on loan . As a regular player, the midfielder finished the season with the club in 5th place and became Norwegian Cup winner.

For the second half of the 2019/20 Bundesliga season, which began in mid-January 2020 , Samúel Friðjónsson then moved to SC Paderborn 07 in Germany without any further activities for Oslo , where he received a contract valid until June 2022.
