Playing career

After coming up through the junior ranks of Skallagrímur,[6] Sigrún started her senior career with Haukar in 2004, and helped the club to two national championships in 2006 and 2007.[1] She joined KR prior the 2007-2008 season.

In 2010, Sigrún signed with French club Olympique Sannois Saint-Gratien.[11] Despite being offered a contract extension, she left the club after the season's end[12] and signed with KR.[1]

In 2014, Sigrún signed with Basketligan dam club Norrköping Dolphins[13][14] where she averaged 9.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in 27 regular season and playoffs games.[15][16] She returned to Iceland in 2015 and joined her hometown club Skallagrímur in the Division I. She left the club after two games, where she averaged 31.5 points and 8.5 rebounds,[17] and signed with Grindavík.[18][19] In 2016, Sigrún returned to Skallagrímur after the team achieved promotion to the Úrvalsdeild.

On February 8, 2017, in the Basketball Cup semi-finals, Sigrún made a three-point shot with 4.6 seconds left that gave Skallagrímur a 70-68 victory against Snæfell and seat in the Cup finals for the first time in the club's history.[20][21] In the Cup finals, Skallagrímur lost to Keflavík, 65-62.[22] In the Úrvalsdeild playoffs, Skallagrímur met Keflavík again in the semi-finals.
