After a period in English football at Preston North End FC, Bjarki joined up with his brother and they played together at KR Reykjavík when they came back home, played with the team for several years, then joined their childhood club, ÍA Akranes, in the year of 2006. They became the managers of the club, when the team manager, Ólafur Þórðarson, left the club because of a horrible start in the division.
