Career & Clubs

Playing career

IFK Norrköping

After playing for two local clubs, he joined IFK Norrköping in 1995. He would become a reliable force at top for his team, scoring 31 goals in 123 appearances, and was capped for the Sweden national team several times in 1999 and 2000. He was also chosen as "Årets herrfotbollsspelare i Östergötland" (Male footballer of the year in Östergötland) 1999. IFK Norrköping was relegated to Superettan after the 2002 season and Wallerstedt decided to try his luck elsewhere attending trials with both Norwegian club Bryne FK and with the Russian club FC Torpedo-Metallurg Moscow. He eventually moved to the Russian club, signing a three-year deal in February 2003, thus becoming the first Swedish player to play in the Russian Premier League.

GIF Sundsvall

Wallerstedt returned to Allsvenskan 1 July 2003, after only 5 months in Russia. FIFA allowed the transfer to go through despite their 12-month rule because of FC Torpedo-Metallurg Moscow's administrative problems with both obtaining a visa for the player and paying his wages. This also meant that Wallerstedt transferred to his new team without a transfer fee as his three-year deal with the Russian club no longer was binding. Wallerstedt instantly became a starter and scored 4 goals in 15 starts during his first season, helping his club avoiding direct relegation by mere 2 points and winning the playoff game against BK Häcken on away goals. The 2004 season was a success story for both Wallerstedt and his…

International career

Jonas Wallerstedt made his international debut for the Sweden national team against South Africa in Pretoria on 27 November 1999 as he came in from the bench replacing Marcus Allbäck. The team consisted of players only from the Scandinavian leagues. He won another two international caps against Denmark and Norway in La Manga between 31 January and 4 February 2000, coming in as a late substitute. Again, the team consisted of players from the Scandinavian leagues. Notably, of the 3 games he participated in, the team lost 2 and made 1 draw scoring only one goal. He has yet to make his competitive debut and his first international goal, but it is unlikely that he will get a chance to win a fourth cap as he has not been up for discussion in several years.
