At the side of Jonnie Fedel , Niclas Nylén , Jonas Wirmola , Jens Fjellström and Jörgen Pettersson , he established himself in the team for long stretches of the season, varying the line-up between defensive line and midfield and was also due to a dismissal that made him cost a regular place, ultimately for 15 season assignments. In the following season he was a regular player, with the club he finished second behind series champion IFK Göteborg .

In August, he made his debut as a substitute in the national jersey on the occasion of a 1-0 win over Lithuania with a goal from Martin Dahlin .

Then he returned to his Swedish hometown Trelleborg and ran from then on for Trelleborgs FF in the second-rate Superettan .
