The 22year old stopper has been signed until the end of the season from Manchester City, Gunnar is the third player Wrexham have acquired from City this season, following in the steps of Angelos Tsiaklis and Sam Williamson.

The 6'3" stopper began his career with HB Torshavn, before moving to BK Frem Copenhagen in 2005. After making five Appearances, Gunnar was signed by Premier League Blackburn Rovers in July 2007 for an undisclosed fee.

While at Rovers, he had a six month loan spell with Scottish Premier League outfit Motherwell, before moving onto Manchester City in a two and a half year deal.
