Jokull progressed through the Afturelding academy in his native Iceland before moving to English club Reading in 2017 to join his brother, Axel Oskar Andresson, in their youth academy. Jokull had trained on and off with Reading since 2014. Jokull turned professional with Reading on his 17th birthday in August 2018, and spent the first half of the 2018–19 season on loan at Hungerford Town. One of Hungerford's games was abandoned after he suffered a concussion with 15 minutes of play remaining. He made five appearances for Hungerford before the loan was cancelled due to injury.

On 22 November 2019, Jokull signed a new contract with Reading, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2022.

He signed for Exeter City on 27 October 2020 on an emergency 7 day loan following injuries to first-team goalkeepers Lewis Ward and Jonny Maxted. He made his debut that same day in a 1–1 draw away at Leyton Orient. After impressing Exeter manager Matt Taylor, Jokull extended his loan with Exeter City for an additional seven days on 2 November, 10 November, 17 November, and 24 November. He made his final appearance for Exeter in their FA Cup Second Round victory over Gillingham, after which Maxted recovered from his injury and returned to the squad for their next game. He made 9 appearances in all competitions for Exeter.

On 22 January 2021 he joined League Two side Morecambe on a seven-day emergency loan deal. After facing Exeter City in his second and final game whilst on loan for Morecambe, Andresson returned to Exeter City on loan for the remainder of the season on 29 January 2021.

On 23 July 2021, Jokull signed a new three-year contract with Reading, before returning to Morecambe on a season-long loan deal.
