CF Montreal sign Thorkelsson from Breidablik Kopavogur
CF Montreal have signed Iceland defender Robert Thorkelsson from Breidablik Kopavogur on a two-and-a-half year deal.
“When Luis Binks left for Bologna, we had to add a player to the roster and Róbert has a similar profile,” said CF Montréal sporting director Olivier Renard. “We are happy with the deal we have with him. Despite his young age, he has first-team experience in Iceland, in Europa League and with the national team. We welcome him to the Club.”
The 19-year-old defender has been with Breidablik Kopavogur since 2020, in Iceland’s first division, where he played 26 games and scored two goals, while also starting a UEFA Europa League game against Rosenborg on August 27, 2020. Before, he played 26 games and scored five goals with UMF Afturelding in Iceland’s second division.
