St. Louis CITY SC acquired Icelandic attacker Nökkvi Thórisson from Belgian Club Beerschot V.A., pending ITC and his work authorization. Thórisson is signed through 2025 with an option for 2026.

“We are very excited to bring an Icelandic national team player to St. Louis,” said CITY SC Sporting Director Lutz Pfannenstiel. “Nökkvi is an all-around attacker who will be helpful for our squad. We hope he can carry over his recent national team call-up experience and strong club season performance for the stretch run in our inaugural season.”

Thórisson, 23, earned his first Iceland National team call-up and appearance on January 8, 2023 in an international friendly against Estonia. He tallied a start to help Iceland get a 1-1 draw.

The Icelandic attacker combined for 35 goals and nine assists in 88 matches across all competitions, including an impressive 23 goal/5 assist campaign over 26 matches in 2022 that led to his move to Belgium.
