Kjartan Mar Kjartansson Transfers from Aberdeen to SK Brann
Kjartan Mar Kjartansson has officially left Aberdeen to join Eliteserien club SK Brann for an undisclosed fee. The 20-year-old forward previously signed with Aberdeen from Icelandic side Stjarnan in the summer of 2025 but has made the decision to relocate closer to his home country.
During his time with the Dons, Kjartansson played in nine matches, scoring one goal and providing an assist. He expressed gratitude towards the Aberdeen staff, stating, “I’d like to thank everyone at Aberdeen for the support I’ve received since joining the club. It’s been a valuable experience for me to move to Scotland, both as a player and as a person. However, I feel the opportunity to join SK Brann and continue my development in Norway is the best pathway for me at this stage of my career.”
Aberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson praised Kjartansson’s talent and professionalism throughout his time at the club. He noted, “Kjartan is a talented young player, and he has shown real professionalism and a commitment to his continued development throughout his time with us.”
Robinson acknowledged that while Kjartansson had limited chances in the first team, the club understood his desire for regular playing time and to be closer to family. “With the club making a healthy profit on the transfer, whilst also retaining a meaningful interest in Kjartan’s future, we believe this move represents the best way forward for all parties,” he added.
