Ragnar Sigurdsson is a popular Icelandic footballer who plays as central defender. Known to domestic fans for playing for the Russian “Rostov” and the national team of Iceland.
Consider in detail the biography of Ragnar Sigurdsson.
Childhood
An Icelandic footballer was born on June 19, 1986 in the capital of Iceland. The boy grew up in a very ordinary family, which had nothing to do with football. However, at a young age, the boy was sent to a local football school, where Ragnar learned the basics of football.
Career
The young athlete began taking the first steps in professional football in the Icelandic club "Filkir", where he moved at the age of 16. After losing two seasons for the youth team, the young football player quickly grew to the main team. At the age of 18, he was able to gain a foothold as the main defender in the first team.
After spending only two years in an Icelandic club, a promising defender was spotted in the Swedish Gothenburg. At first, the young football player played for the youth squad, but six months later he was able to make his debut for the first team in a duel against Allsvenskan. And next year, as a key player, he helped Gothenburg win gold medals in the national championship. After a successful season, a young player started hunting in the transfer market. However, the sports director immediately reassured everyone by setting a price tag of three million euros for the football player. Therefore, for the next three seasons, Ragnar continued to defend the colors of the Swedish club, having spent a total of more than 100 matches.
In the summer of 2011, the Danish Copenhagen bought a promising defender. The transfer amount amounted to more than five million euros. The Icelandic defender spent three seasons for the Danish team, after which he moved to Russia, signing a contract with Krasnodar, where he immediately became a player in the starting lineup.
Over two seasons, Ragnar spent almost 100 matches for the club, distinguishing himself in two goals.
At the end of the summer of 2016, an Icelandic footballer was sold to Fulham in English. However, he failed to gain a foothold in the English club, so the next season the football player Ragnar Sigurdsson was leased to Kazan Rubin.
At the beginning of 2018, through the winter transfer window, the Icelandic footballer was sold to Rostov, where Ragnar is still playing.
National team
Already at the age of 15, a young football player made his debut in the youth team. And at 21, he received a call to the national team. The debut of a promising footballer took place in a duel against Canada.
