from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Career

Andersson started playing soccer in his hometown at Bjuvs IF . In 1991, the goalkeeper moved to the third division Ramlösa BoIS , but rose with the club. A year later he moved to the league competitor Ängelholms FF . Here he was able to establish himself as a regular goalkeeper and recommended himself for higher tasks, so that he was committed in 1994 by the second division Kalmar FF . However, he only had a place on the bench and without having played a game, he left the club at the end of the season.

In 1995 Andersson was able to fight for the place as a regular goalkeeper at the fourth division club Högaborgs BK and rose with the club in the third division. There they won the runner-up title right away, but in the promotion games Qviding FIF prevented the advance into the second division. In the following year only the seventh place jumped out and at the end of the season Andersson left the club from Helsingborg after three years and moved to the first division side Trelleborgs FF , where Andersson was able to establish himself in goal.

In 2000 Andersson moved to league rivals AIK to replace national goalkeeper Mattias Asper , who had moved to Real Sociedad San Sebastián . On February 1, 2001 Andersson made his own debut in the Swedish national team. At the same time, Dime Jankulovski, a competitor for the place in the goal of AIK, was committed, who was also part of the extended squad of the Swedish national team. However, Andersson was able to assert himself, so that Jankulovski left the club after only one season for Norway. In 2002 he was in goal in all 26 games of the season.

In 2003 Andersson made the leap abroad and moved to Hibernian Edinburgh in Scotland . After a year and a half, however, he returned to the Allsvenskan and signed a contract with Helsingborgs IF . Here he established himself as a regular player and won the Swedish Cup with the club in 2006 . Before the 2009 season , the young player Pär Hansson pushed him between the posts, so that after 122 first division games for HIF he was only a substitute.

In January 2010 Andersson finally left Helsingborgs IF and joined Ängelholms FF in the second-rate Superettan . With the number "72" on his back , he was then on the field in all 30 league games of the second division season in 2010 and supported the team in staying up. In March 2011, however, he returned to Helsingborgs IF. There he replaced Hampus Nilsson, who had been awarded the second division IFK Värnamo , as the second goalkeeper. For a long time he stayed without a stake behind goalkeeper Pär Hansson , who had played his way into the national team. It was only in August 2012 that he guarded the goal in the Allsvenskan again instead of the injured colleague in the 2-1 defeat against league leaders IF Elfsborg .
