Hans Roland Tobias Grahn [ tɔbiɑːs grɑːn ] (born March 5, 1980 in Karlskrona ) is a former Swedish football player . The midfielder made his debut for the Swedish national team in 2001 .

Career

Grahn started playing soccer at Rödeby AIF in his native Karlskrona. From there he moved to Östers IF . For the club from Växjö he made his debut in 1997 in the adult division in the Allsvenskan . Teams like Middlesbrough FC were interested in the young international player , but he moved to SC Beira-Mar in the Portuguese SuperLiga in spring 1998 . There he could not prevail and returned to Östers IF in the summer of 1999.

By the end of the 1999 season, Grahn ran for the club in the second division Division 1 , before he left Sweden again in the fall and moved within Northern Europe to the Danish club Lyngby BK . Here he established himself as a result in the regular formation. Due to good performances he was also able to play in the Swedish national team. In the national team, he made his debut in January 2001 in a 0-0 draw against the Faroese national team , when he ran up alongside players like Erik Edman , Zlatan Ibrahimović or Christian Wilhelmsson in the national jersey.

After his club had to relegate to the second division 1st division in the summer of 2001 for economic reasons , Grahn moved on to the Norwegian club Vålerenga IF . Under coach Kjetil Rekdal , he won the Norwegian Cup with the club in 2002. Nevertheless, he returned to Sweden in the summer of 2003 after 18 months at the Oslo club and was hired by Malmö FF . At first he was used here in his favorite position in the central midfield. However, when coach Tom Prahl set him up on the outside lane, he initiated a loan deal with the Danish club Aarhus GF . At the club coached by his compatriot Sören Åkeby , he was able to convince by scoring eight goals and preparing 13 more as a game designer by the winter break. Despite these successes, the Swedish club decided to give him up due to his rebellious attitude, so that he signed a three-year contract with Aarhus GF. After two seasons he moved on loan to league rivals Odense BK . With his new club, he caused a stir in the UEFA Cup when, among other things, the German club Hertha BSC was kicked out of the competition in autumn 2006. Thereupon the Berlin club announced interest in a commitment of the player, but this decided in January 2007 for an offer from Gimnàstic de Tarragona from the Primera División . With the club, however, he rose at the end of the season to the Segunda División , where he was hardly used due to injury.

In August 2007, Grahn accepted an offer from Hertha BSC and switched to the German capital on loan. His involvement in the German Bundesliga , however, was not successful, he was often on the substitutes' bench or ran for the amateur team. Therefore, the club refrained from applying the contractually fixed purchase option.

Since Grahn did not want to play in the Spanish second division, he looked around for a new club. In October it was announced that his contract, which was valid until summer 2009, was terminated. At the end of January he announced his return to Denmark. He signed a three-year contract with Randers FC . By the end of the Superliga season 2008/09 he was one of the regular players for long stretches and played eleven of the remaining 16 games of the season. In the following season he could not convince and found himself regularly on the bench. On November 12, 2009, the club and the players separated and terminated the contract prematurely.

Grahn returned to Sweden for the Allsvenskan season in 2010 . In early February 2010, he signed a three-year contract with the first division promoted Mjällby AIF , where he received the shirt number "22". In February 2012 he moved within the league to Örebro SK , but after a mixed season he rose with the team from the Allsvenskan. As a result, he was initially without a contract before he joined the Danish second division club Brønshøj BK in early March 2013 until the end of the season. He ended his career in 2014.
