The Iceland international’s first goal for her childhood Club came in October of the following season, when a stooping back-post header helped the women’s team on their way to a 2-0 victory away at Manchester City.
Striking first against the Citizens proved to be one of four league goals Brynjarsdóttir would bag that term, which also included a second-half winner in a 1-0 victory over London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Having been appointed captain ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, Brynjarsdóttir went on to enjoy her best-scoring season in Claret and Blue. With six goals in the WSL and eleven in all competitions, the No10 had well and truly made her mark in east London.
Having been so accustomed to celebrating goals, in August 2023 Brynjarsdóttir celebrated the wonderful news that she was expecting her second child, whom, following a gender reveal at Chadwell Heath training ground, she gave birth to in February 2024.
While she was away from the pitch, in March 2024, the Club released an industry-first documentary, Ómarsson, which followed the midfielder’s journey through pregnancy as a professional sportswoman and the barriers female athletes face when making the decision to become a mother.
