Club career

ÍR (2004–2006)

Born in Reykjavík, Pétursson began his career with ÍR, based in Reykjavík in 2004. In his first season, Pétursson played 17 games for ÍR, mainly coming on as a substitute. He showed his talents early in the season against Selfoss, coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute and scoring twice within two minutes of arrival on the pitch. He didn't play as much in the second season because of conflicts with his manager but still scored 3 goals in the 6 games he got to play. In his last season at ÍR, he played 11 games and scored 2 goals until he was scouted by KR.

KR (2006–2009)

On 1 August 2006, Pétursson went on loan to KR

VISA Bikar 2008, coming off the bench as a substitute in the final against Fjölnir
. In 2009, Pétursson was getting concerned at KR, because of his lack of playing time and wanted to find some playing time elsewhere.

Breiðablik (2009–present)

On 18 July 2009, Pétursson went on loan to

Keflavík in the semi-finals. He netted his penalty in the penalty shoot-out against Fram
in the final. After only half a season at Breiðablik, Pétursson was already becoming an idol there.

On 8 March 2010 Pétursson permanently joined

VISA Bikar 2010 on 3 June, but missed a penalty in the penalty shoot-out which Breiðablik lost. After a series of disappointing appearances Pétursson lost his place in the starting line-up and started on the bench against Fylkir on 20 June. On 27 June Breiðablik played against Pétursson's old club KR at home. Pétursson came on as a substitute and scored the winning goal as Breiðablik went on to win the game 2–1. The game after that Pétursson was back in the starting line-up again and thanked his manager by scoring a goal in the 3–1 victory against Selfoss. Pétursson played his 100th official career league game when Breiðablik slaughtered Stjarnan
4–0 at home on 8 July. Unluckily Pétursson did not score in this game.

On 16 September 2010 Pétursson suffered a serious injury when he tore both his anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament as well as damaging the meniscus in his right knee [5] in a game against his old team KR. It was predicted that he would be out for around a year. Pétursson has not played a single game for Breiðablik in the year 2011 as he is still recovering from his injury.

International career

Pétursson has one cap for Iceland at under-21 level but didn't manage to score any goals. His only match was on 12 June 2008 against Norway.
