Club career
Jón Daði began his senior career during the 2009 season in the Icelandic second tier with Selfoss, scoring once as his side were promoted to the Icelandic top flight. After being loaned to the youth ranks of the Danish club Aarhus for four months in 2011, he returned to Selfoss, who had been relegated in the meantime. He scored seven times during the 2011 season as the club were promoted back to the top flight.
After netting a further seven goals back in the top division, Jón Daði moved to the Norwegian side Viking in November 2012. During three seasons in the Norwegian top flight, he scored 15 times before leaving for German second division side Kaiserslautern in January 2016, with whom he had already signed a pre-contract in June 2015 for a three-year deal. He made his Kaiserslautern debut on 5 February 2016 against Union Berlin and scored the first of two goals for the team on 4 March 2016 in a 1–2 defeat at Nürnberg.
On 2 August 2016, Jón Daði signed for English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal. He scored his first goal on his debut for the club on 6 August 2016 in a 2–2 draw against Rotherham. His debut simultaneously meant he became the 1,000th player to appear in a league game for the club. Jón Daði scored his second goal for Wolves on August 20, scoring the final goal in Wolves' 3–1 win against Birmingham City.

Having already played for Iceland at under-19 and under-21 level, Jón Daði made his full international debut on 14 November 2012 as a substitute in a friendly against Andorra. He scored his first international goal on 9 September 2014 in a 3–0 victory over Turkey during Euro 2016 qualifying.
