Florida State’s Dagny Brynjarsdottir will begin her professional career overseas as she signed a contract to play with FC Bayern Munich.

The 23-year-old Icelandic international will join Bayern after signing a contract that will take her through the end of the season. FC Bayern Munich currently sits in second place through 13 matches in the Frauen-Bundesliga standings which is the main league competition for women's soccer in Germany.

“Dagny is a very talented and dangerous attacking player who can play both in attacking midfield as well as a forward,” said FC Bayern head coach Thomas Wörle. “I'm very excited to be able to work with such a young, determined player.”

“I'm looking forward to starting my professional career with FC Bayern,” added Brynjarsdottir. “My goals are to continue to develop as a player and to help the team reach their goals. I'm excited about the coming six months.”

Brynjarsdottir just wrapped up a brilliant four-year career at Florida State leading the Seminoles to a national championship in her final season. She leaves FSU ranked first all-time in career game-winning goals (19) and second in career points (111), goals (44) and shots (232). Along with the national title in 2014, Brynjarsdottir guided the Seminoles to four College Cup appearances, three ACC titles, two ACC regular season championships and a berth in back-to-back NCAA finals.

FSU’s senior captain finished the 2014 campaign leading the Seminoles in points (38), goals (16) and shots (87) and tied for the team lead with five game-winning goals. She went on to set single-season career-highs for shots, goals and points this past year.

The Icelandic native was also named a finalist for the Honda Sports Award and garnered NSCAA first team All-America, ACC Offensive Player of the Year, first-team All-ACC and ACC Tournament MVP accolades this season. She received Scholar Player of the Year honors from the NSCAA as well.

The Seminole midfielder ranked in the top 10 in the ACC in eight offensive categories leading in shots per game and tied for first in game-winning goals. Brynjarsdottir paced the Seminoles during league play with 17 points on seven goals and three assists including three game-winning goals that came against Virginia, Virginia Tech and Pitt. 

Brynjarsdottir concluded the season with a team-high six multi-point games. She tied a career-high scoring two goals twice (against St. John’s & NC State) and also tied a career-high against South Carolina with just her second two-assist game. She walked away with a spot on the College Cup All-Tournament Team after tallying seven points on two goals and three assists during FSU’s postseason run.
