Jonas Junland began his career as an ice hockey player in his hometown in the youth department of Linköpings HC , for whose professional team he made his debut in the Elitserien in the 2005/06 season . He remained pointless and punished in four games. He was then selected in the NHL Entry Draft 2006 in the third round as a total of 64th player by the St. Louis Blues . Initially, however, the defender stayed for another two years with his home club, with which he was runner- up in the 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons. From 2008 to 2010 he was in a total of four games for the St. Louis Blues in the National Hockey League on the ice and gave two assists.

For the 2010/11 season Junland returned to Sweden, where he had a contract with Färjestad BK , with which he was Swedish champion straight away . For the 2011/12 season he was committed by Barys Astana from the Continental Hockey League .

Shortly after the start of his second season in Astana - in October 2012 - his current contract with Barys was terminated and Junland received a contract with the Pelicans from the SM-liiga , but subsequently only played a few games for the club.

For the 2013/14 season he returned to his home club Linköpings HC , where he stayed until the end of the 2015/16 season. In March 2016 he was signed by Lausanne HC from the Swiss National League A (NLA). He was named the best defender of the NLA main round 2016/17.
