Club career

Mist started her career with Afturelding in the 1. deild kvenna at the age of 16 and later played two seasons for KR[4] before signing with Valur in 2011. She played for Avaldsnes IL in 2013 and in October the same year, she signed with Brazilian club Vitória.[5]

After her stint with Vitória, Mist returned to Valur in 2014. In June 2014, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.[6][7][8] Despite undergoing chemotherapy, Mist appeared in 15 of Valur's 18 matches during the season, missing one game due to being suspended after receiving a red card[9] and the last two games after becoming too ill to play.[2] By January 2015, the cancer was in remission[10] and she played in all 18 matches during the 2018 season.[2]

In January 2017, Mist tore her left ACL during practice and was expected to miss all of the upcoming season.[11] In November 2017, Mist signed a three year contract extension with Valur.[12] In March 2018, on her second full practice since the injury, she tore the same ACL again.[13] She returned for the 2019 season and appeared in eight Úrvalsdeild matches before tearing her ACL once again, this time in her right knee.[14][15] In 2020, Mist returned to the field with Valur.[3] On 26 September 2020, she scored four goals in a 7–0 victory against third-placed Fylkir.[16][17]

She had a standout season with Valur in 2021 and helped the team to the national championship.[18]

On 21 September 2022, in a game against Slavia Prague, Mist suffered the fourth anterior cruciate ligament tear of her career, ending her season.[19]
