With Portuguese and Mozambique heritage, Victor Palsson was born and brought up in Iceland, but moved to Denmark in 16 to play for Aarhus. He then turned professional with Liverpool in 2009, and his time in England included a short loan spell at Dagenham & Redbridge.  

Incredibly, in a three-game stint with the Essex side, Pálsson played against Argyle, in November 2010, at Home Park, in a game the Greens won 2-1, with goals from Craig Noone and Rory Patterson.  

Victor moved to Hibernian, in Scotland, for a year, before his first trip to MLS, to play for New York Red Bulls. He had a loan with NEC in the Netherlands, which turned permanent and continued his globetrotting with spells in Sweden and Denmark, with Helsingborgs and Esbjerg respectively.  

In 2017, Pálsson moved to Switzerland to play for FC Zurich, and whilst there became captain of the side, and won the Swiss Cup. He also played for Zurich in the Europa League.  

The next country on Victor’s list was Germany, where he played for two teams. He firstly joined Darmstadt, where stayed for two-and-a-half years, before moving to Schalke for a season and winning the 2. Bundesliga.  

In the summer of 2022, Pálsson returned to the US, and linked up with Rooney for the first time, at DC United, where he was brought in as a ‘designated player’, which means they are a signing for whom the standard salary cap rules do not apply. 

At the start of the 2023/24, Victor moved to Eupen, in the Belgian Pro League. He played 36 times, scoring twice. He joined Argyle in July 2024.
