Rawez Lawan (born October 4, 1987 ) is a Swedish football player . The striker has played in his career to date in Sweden and Denmark, where he won two cups with FC Nordsjælland and was national champion in 2012.

Career

Lawan started playing football at Kvarnby IK . In 2003 he moved to the youth department of Malmö FF . In the 2005 season , the young player made his debut in the first division team of the traditional club and made five first division appearances . He also made a brief appearance in the qualifying game for the UEFA Champions League against Swiss representative FC Thun in August that year when he came on for Jari Litmanen in the 88th minute . Even in his second year in the professional team of MFF he could not prevail and after two appearances as a substitute he left the club halfway through the summer season.

Like many young Swedish talents like Edin Cakovic , Ken Fagerberg or Marcus Pode , Lawan sought his fortune in Denmark. On August 13, 2006 he made his debut for AC Horsens in the Superliga and was able to celebrate directly as a goal scorer in the 1-1 draw against Esbjerg fB . At first he was only used irregularly in Denmark, but in spring 2007 he was appointed to the Swedish U21 team. On his debut on March 27th of the year he replaced Joakim Sjöhage in the 2-1 defeat against the U21 team of Malta in the second half . In the 2007/08 season Lawan was able to fight for a regular place in the storm and contributed with eight goals this season to fifth place in the table of his employer.

For the 2009/10 season Lawan moved to FC Nordsjælland . Still a substitute on the first match days, he soon convinced coach Morten Wieghorst and scored seven goals by the winter break. However, after he subsequently remained without scoring, he lost his regular place and was only used as a substitute at times. When the club reached the Danish Cup final in the summer, they were not part of the winning team in the 2-0 final win over FC Midtjylland after extra time. In the following years he wavered between the starting line-up and substitute bench, this time he was part of the starting line-up in the remake of last year's game in the 2011 cup final. In the 3-2 win he brought his colors into the lead with two goals each, while Søren Christensen scored the decisive goal in stoppage time . In the 2011/12 season he was only on the field in eleven of his 27 season appearances at kick-off, but at the side of Michael Parkhurst , Mikkel Beckmann and Nicolai Stokholm he stayed on the road to success and won the Danish championship.

After Lawan had not been a regular at the beginning of the following half series, he decided to change clubs in the winter. In January 2013 he signed a three-year contract with the Swedish club IFK Norrköping .

In January 2016, he signed a one-year contract with Swedish club Dalkurd FF .
