Kolbeinn Finnsson

Kolbeinn Finnsson of Valerenga was born on 25 August 1999 (age 26).

Kolbeinn Finnsson, born on 25 August 1999 (age 26), is an Icelandic left-back currently with Valerenga, where he wears the number 2 shirt.

His most productive league campaign came at Lyngby in 2023–24, when he scored two goals in 30 appearances. That is modest enough, but useful context for a full-back whose value is not built around end product.

In 2026, Finnsson has made 11 league appearances for Valerenga, all in the Eliteserien, without scoring. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Finnsson’s career to this point is that of an established Icelandic professional working mainly as a left-back, with Lyngby providing his strongest league season so far and Valerenga his current stage.

Finnsson's career path has taken him through five clubs – Brentford, Borussia Dortmund II, Lyngby, FC Utrecht and Valerenga. The trajectory suggests a player who moved out of development and reserve-team environments into senior football in Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway, without a long settled spell at one club in the supplied record.
