Kristófer Ingi Kristinsson (born 7 April 1999) is an Icelandic professional footballer who plays as a forward for Breiðablik.[1]

Club career

Stjarnan

A product of the Stjarnan youth academy, Kristófer grew to become an Icelandic youth international while playing for their youth teams. He attracted the interest of Eredivisie club SC Heerenveen, trialling with the side in 2014. At the age of 16, he made his debut as a substitute for Stjarnan's first team during a 3–2 away loss to Keflavík on 9 March 2016 in the Icelandic League Cup.

Kristófer in 2020

Willem II

On 12 July 2016, Kristófer signed a three-year contract with Eredivisie club Willem II,[2] making his league debut on 25 February 2018 during a 1–0 home win over Roda JC Kerkrade, replacing Bartholomew Ogbeche in injury time.[3] He scored his first goal for the club, as well as his first goal in professional football, on 15 September 2018 in a league match against Excelsior, completing Willem II's late comeback by scoring the 2–2 equalizer.[4][5]

Grenoble

Kristófer refused to extend his expiring contract with Willem II in 2019 and,[6] despite interest from PSV Eindhoven, opted to sign with French Ligue 2 club Grenoble on 18 June 2019.[7] He made his debut for the club on 8 November 2019, replacing Florian Raspentino in the 76th minute of a 0–0 draw against Le Mans.[8][9]

One year after joining Grenoble, he would move to PSV after all, when he was sent on a one-season loan to their reserve team Jong PSV competing in the second-tier Eerste Divisie.[10] With eight goals in 32 appearances, Kristófer became the top goalscorer for Jong PSV in the 2020–21 season.

SønderjyskE

On 25 July 2021, Kristófer signed a three-year contract with

SønderjyskE.[11] He made his debut for the club the following day, coming off the bench for Jeppe Simonsen in the 77th minute in a 1–0 home win in the league.[12] Kristófer had limited success at the club, scoring no goals in 20 league appearances, as SønderjyskE suffered relegation to the Danish 1st Division in the 2021–22 season. On 1 September 2022, the club confirmed that they had terminated Kristófer's contract after mutual agreement.[13]

VVV-Venlo

On 5 September 2022, Kristófer joined Eerste Divisie club VVV-Venlo on a one-year contract, with an option for an additional season.[14] He made his debut for VVV against his former club Jong PSV on 16 September, replacing Nick Venema in the 63rd minute of a 1–1 home draw at De Koel.[15] He left VVV at the end of the season, as his contract was not extended.[16]

Breiðablik

On 4 August 2023, Kristófer joined Breiðablik until the end of 2023.[17] He made his first ever European appearance for Breiðablik on 31 August, replacing Klæmint Olsen in the 75th minute of the play-off round of the UEFA Europa Conference League, which ended in a 1–0 victory over Struga.[18] This win secured Breiðablik becoming the first Icelandic football club to play in the group stage of a major UEFA-organised European competition.[19]
