Hampus Nilsson (born 17 July 1990) is a Swedish footballer who plays for Djurgårdens IF as a goalkeeper.[1]

Career

Hampus Nilsson started his career in IFK Osby as a four year old. He played both as a field player and goalkeeper until the age of thirteen when he decided to focus on the latter. After a year at Landskrona BoIS he joined Helsingborgs IF where he would never get any first team playtime but instead spent several seasons on loan. During his loan with IFK Värnamo in 2010 he helped the club win promotion to second tier Superettan where he also played the following year and then with Ängelholms FF in 2012.[2]

After being released by Helsingborg at the end of 2012 Nilsson was considering retiring from football when he was contacted by agent Markus Karlsson who arranged a trial for him with Allsvenskan club Djurgårdens IF which resulted in a two year deal before the start of the 2013 Allsvenskan season.[3][4] In October 2014 he signed a new four year contract.[5] Having spent 101 games in a row on the bench he finally made his Allsvenskan debut for Djurgården in a 2–0 win against Falkenberg on 24 October 2015.[6]

International career

Nilsson played two games for the Sweden national under-19 football team in 2007.[7]

Personal life

Nilsson also played ice hockey in his youth, but when he signed with Landskrona BoIS in 2007 he made the decision to solely focus on football. After joining Djurgården he often stood with the singing section at the home games of the clubs hockey team, which quickly made him a favourite among the fans.[4][8]
