In 2015 she was loaned to Kristianstads DFF and played five Damallsvenskan matches for the Swedish club, before returning for the start of the Iceland season in May.[2] She agreed to join Kristianstads permanently in January 2016, but then changed her mind and decided to stay with Stjarnan.[3]

Ásgerður missed the 2017 Úrvalsdeild season due to pregnancy.[4]

In October 2022, Ásgerður decided to retire from playing as it was announced that she was hired as a coach for the Valur team following their cup championship in the prior season.[5]
