In his first season he finished top goal scorer with a total of 13 goals in 28 games. He played his part in impressive wins over both Rangers & Celtic and United only lost four matches in which he appeared and finished in third place in the Scottish Premier League, having been promoted from the First Division the previous season. In his second season (1997–1998) he again finished top goalscorer with 23 goals.
Career
Olofsson is perhaps best known for his time with Scottish club Dundee United with whom he joined at the start of the 1996/97 season. Brought in by then manager Tommy McLean he made his debut as a trialist in the 1-0 victory over Hearts at Tannadice on 26 October 1996, along with fellow Scandinavian Erik Pedersen. However, despite Kjell"s goals United failed to live up to the glory of the previous season and only finished 7th in the SPL. He did, however score both goals in a 2-1 victory over Hibernian, goals which condemned the Edinburgh side to the humiliation of being relegated to the first division.
The season did provide Kjell a medal, sadly for him and United fans it was only a runners up medal in the Scottish League Cup (they lost a distinctly one-sided final 3-0 to Celtic)
His final season at United (1998–1999) was less successful.
Several years later Kjell made a cameo appearance at Tannadice, dressed as Terry The Terror (the club mascot) before a home league game. Olofsson"s last known club was the club from which he joined Dundee United - Norwegian club Moss F.K.
He retired as a professional player in 2002 and returned to his family"s furniture business. He still plays amateur football at the age of 46 on Tronvik Fk.
