AIK

Neurath Bengtsson started his senior career at AIK, where he made his debut in August 2006, against Östers IF at Råsunda Stadium.

FC Nordsjælland

After three and a half seasons at AIK, Neurath Bengtsson searched for more playtime and joined on 1 September 2009 the Danish Superliga FC Nordsjælland.

Bengtsson's debut came as a substitute on 22 February 2011 in the UEFA Champions League round-of-16-match against Chelsea [2]

In the 2011–12 season, Neurath Bengtsson began as first choice at left back. Through autumn, however, he was overtaken by Bryan Oviedo, and from 27 October to 15 April Neurath Bengtsson was only in the lineup twice. [2] Oviedo was sold to Everton on 31 August 2012, [5] and since Bengtsson has been the preferred left back in the club.
