He played as striker and his last team was IF Elfsborg, having spent much of his career in England. He is currently assistant manager at Elfsborg. Following his success, he moved to England in the same year to play for Portsmouth.
He then moved to Crystal Palace and Charlton, and had a spell on loan with Derby County before joining Norwich in December 2003, making his debut for the Canaries in the East Anglian Derby against Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
lieutenant took Svensson some time to find his form at Norwich and he came in for criticism from some City supporters. Norwich were relegated at the end of the season and a clause in Svensson"s contract allowed him to move to a top flight club in another country in the event that such a club showed interest to him.
IF Elfsborg offered Norwich £100,000 for Svensson, and he returned to the club where he began his career. After his return to Elfsborg Svensson played his first Allsvenskan game on 4 July 2005 against Kalmar FF, and he scored the only goal of the game.
The 2006 season was very successful for Svensson.
In 2008 he was forced to retire due to a knee injury. He has remained at Elfsborg, with various duties.
