After a period in English football at Preston North End, Bjarki joined up with his twin brother Arnar and they played together at KR Reykjavík when they came back home.

They became the managers of the club, when the team manager, Ólafur Þórðarson, left the club because of a horrible start in the division. The brothers saved the club from relegation, but the chairman of the club hired manager Guðjón Þórðarson to control the club. Then, the brothers left ÍA Akranes to join the Icelandic champions, FH Hafnarfjörður.In July 2008, the brothers left FH amicably when Guðjón Þórðarson had been fired from ÍA, and again took the reins of their old club as player-managers.
In May 2010, it was announced that Bjarki had joined his former club and Icelandic champions FH on free transfer. He signed a one-year contract. This transfer meant that for the first time he and his twin brother were on opposing sides in the same league, as Arnar played for Haukar at the time. They had previously played together with five different clubs; ÍA, 1. FC Nürnberg, KR, FH and Valur. Additionally, they were both contracted to Feyenoord at the same time, although only Arnar featured for the team.
