Career

Together with his brother, Olsson began playing football at Högaborgs BK , the hometown club of Henrik Larssons . For the club, he made his debut in the men's amateur team. After Halmstads BK had observed the left foot for a long time and he had completed trial training at the club, the 19-year-old junior player was signed in January 2008. For much of the 2008 season he was in the Allsvenskan on the left wing in the starting line-up and contributed to reaching eighth place in the table in a total of 21 games this season. Although he wavered at the beginning of his second season in the Swedish House of Lords between starting lineup and substitute bench, in summer 2009 he was appointed to the squad of the U-21 national team by Tommy Söderberg and Jörgen Lennartsson . In the 1-0 success of the junior national team, which is being built up to qualify for the U-21 European Championship finals 2011 , via the Finnish U-21 national selection on June 9 of that year, he was in the starting line-up, but was able to get into the result did not claim in the selection and remained without further stakes.

Under coach Lars Jacobsson he made his final breakthrough in the 2010 season and played all 30 games of the season. Before the beginning of the following season, the Spaniard Josep Clotet Ruiz took over the coaching position under which he maintained his regular place. At the side of Michael Görlitz , Anel Raskaj and Tomas Žvirgždauskas , the season was unsuccessful, so that the team despite a coach change - Jens Gustafsson took over in July - relegated bottom of the table in the second-rate Superettan . Nevertheless, national coach Erik Hamrén nominated him after the end of the season for a January tour as one of nine newcomers next to his teammate Karl-Johan Johnsson for the senior national team .

In January 2016, Olsson moved to Derby County .
