The defender is thrilled at getting a second chance at the Premier
League club after an unsuccessful trial five years ago.
Steinsson, 26, told De Telegraaf: 'I said goodbye to the players and staff
yesterday.
'This is a fantastic chance for me. Five years ago I was on trial at Bolton
but I wasn't good enough. Now I am.
'It's a great club which has had many Icelandic players in the past.'
Steinsson has spent three seasons with AZ and has also worn the colours of MA Akranes and Young Boys.
