Eyjólfur started his senior team career with ÍR in 2001 before transferring to Fylkir in 2003. After the 2006 season, he signed with GAIS.[1]
After his contract ended with GAIS at the start of 2011, Eyjólfur went for a trial with SønderjyskE. After a week of trial, he was offered a contract. Eyjólfur granted the offer made by SønderjyskE and signed a contract lasting until June 2013.[2] Eyjólfur was seen by the media as a replacement for Rasmus Hansen who had joined Danish Superliga side Randers FC.[3]
After 3 years with several injuries[4] and only 10 league matches, it was announced on 18 November 2015, that Eyjólfur would take back home at the end of the year to Iceland, playing for Stjarnan.[5][6]
