Club career

Sverrir started his career with local club FH before moving abroad to Molde FK. He later returned to FH and played two full seasons with the club before injuring himself, being out for two seasons. He returned for the 2007 season, moving abroad to play with GIF Sundsvall after the season. He returned again to FH in 2009 and played 8 games.
