“Hammarby is a fantastic club with passionate supporters and is well respected in both Stockholm and Sweden,”“I have always liked the club and its fans, and I’m also impressed with the club’s achievements over the last years, both on and off the pitch. To be part of and to assist Hammarby in its progress feels both fun and exciting”
However, the player mentioned regarding his commitment to play for the club. He stated that;“I’ve said for 10 years that I’m not going to play football in the Allsvenskan. It’s not going to happen”
