Niklas Dahlström

Niklas Dahlström is a Swedish footballer who plays as a defender for Varbergs BoIS in Superettan.

Career

Dahlström started his youth career in Strands IF and played senior football for them in 2015. Then followed four seasons in Hudiksvalls FF in Division 2. In 2020, Hudiksvalls FF's league was suspended due to the pandemic. In June 2020, Dahlström joined GIF Sundsvall to be able to play on a higher level. He made his Superettan debut later that month against Dalkurd, and after GIF Sundsvall were promoted from the 2021 Superettan, he made his Allsvenskan debut in April 2022 against Sirius.
In early 2022 Dahlström missed 7 matches after sustaining a broken scaphoid bone. For Dahlström, it was demoralizing not to be able to play football with a hand injury. He also lost his place in the team. He joined Jönköpings Södra IF on loan in August 2022, to play the remainder of 2022, and J-Södra later wanted to retain him. Instead, Dahlström left GIF Sundsvall for Allsvenskan club Varbergs BoIS.
