Career

Claesson comes from the youth of IFK Värnamo . He made his adult debut for the club in the early 2000s and established himself as a regular on the offensive. After seven goals this season in the 2004 season, he drew higher class attention and left the third division team in December of that year for Östers IF . Here, however, he could only temporarily establish himself in the team. He had played twelve league games in the Superettan in the 2005 season and contributed to promotion to the Allsvenskan with a goal of the season, he only made three appearances in the first half of the following season. He then returned to his home club on loan until the end of 2006. Even after Östers IF's direct relegation to the Superettan, he did not get there beyond the role of supplementary player, a total of only four appearances as a substitute.

In 2008 Claesson returned to IFK Värnamo in the third class Division 1 . After three seasons he rose as the season winner in the south in front of the Gothenburg club Qviding FIF . There he reached with the team around Tobias Englund and Joel Löw at the end of the second division season 2011 in the relegation games against Väsby United relegation. In the following two years he occupied a relegation place with the team, this time he prevailed with the club against Lunds BK and a year later against Dalkurd FF . In the following years he succeeded with the club in the middle of the table, while he was a regular player for long periods and in the meantime was appointed team captain. After the end of the second division season in 2016 , he ended his active career after more than 250 competitive games for IFK Värnamo in order to devote himself entirely to his full-time activity. In the six seasons for the club in the Superettan, he had played 161 of a possible 180 league games, he had scored nine second division goals.
