He advanced to the senior team for the 2005–06 season and spent two seasons there before signing a two-year contract with Timrå in April 2007.[1] After four years with the club, he headed back to Frölunda HC, where he played until the end of the 2015-16 campaign, in which he helped win the Swedish national championship and the Champions Hockey League title.
