Joel Allansson

Allansson came through Nybro IF before joining the IFK Göteborg academy in 2008, and it was there that he won two Svenska Cupen titles, in 2012/13 and 2014/15, though his part in those cup runs was limited. A move abroad followed in December 2014, when he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Danish Superliga side Randers FC. He stayed there for four years, returning to Sweden in December 2018 to join Halmstads BK on a free transfer, initially on a one-year deal with an option for a second.

His first season back home came in the 2019 Superettan, where he made 29 appearances as Halmstad finished sixth. Allansson had already built a long international résumé at youth level before that, representing Sweden at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level. He earned his first senior cap on 8 January 2017, and has since made two appearances for the national team.
