He suffered two consecutive injuries during the 2012 season, with a sprain in April followed by a rough tackle a few months later.

After leaving professional football he began studying economics in Uppsala. He continued playing football outside the elite scene, playing in IF VP Uppsala in 2015 [3] and Melbourne University SC in 2016 during an exchange year in Melbourne.
