Club career

Early career

Fällman grew up in Mariefred,[2] and started his senior career in 2007 with Eskilstuna City in Division 2, Sweden's fourth tier.[3]

He moved to Stockholm-based Väsby United in 2009. Across three seasons, Fällman played as a regular in Superettan, Sweden's second tier, with the club and made 67 league appearances.[2][4]

In the beginning of 2012, Fällman signed a three-month deal with AIK, but was not offered a contract extension with the club.[5]

Gefle IF

On 21 March 2012, Fällman signed a multi-year contract with Gefle IF in Allsvenskan.[6]

He soon established himself as a key player in manager Pelle Olsson's side,[7] and he was named the new club captain in 2015.[8]

In total, Fällman made 111 league appearances for Gelfe IF across four seasons in the Swedish top division.[4]

Dalian Transcendence

In January 2016, Fällman moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing a two-year deal with Dalian Transcendence in the China League One.[9]

Hammarby IF

On 16 February 2018, Fällman returned to Sweden and signed a three-year deal with Hammarby IF.[1] He played 27 games during his debut season, scoring once, as Hammarby finished 4th in the table.[4]

In April 2019, Fällman was appointed joint-captain of Hammarby together with Jeppe Andersen.[10] His season was however plagued by a groin injury,[11] and Fällman only made 18 appearances as Hammarby finished 3rd in Allsvenskan.[4]

Personal life

Fällman is the cousin of Marcus Danielson, a fellow footballer that represents Djurgårdens IF and the Swedish national team.[12]
