Kjell Dennis Collander (born 9 May 2002) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Hammarby IF in the Allsvenskan.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Collander was born in Västerås and started to play football as a youngster with local club Barkarö SK. At age 11, he moved to Skiljebo SK.[3][4]

Club career

[edit]

Skiljebo SK

[edit]

On 14 February 2018, aged 15, Collander was promoted to Skiljebo's senior team, competing in Division 2, Sweden's fourth tier.[5] He played 12 league games throughout the season, scoring once, helping the club to finish 2nd in the table.[6][7]

Örebro SK

[edit]

On 17 January 2019, Collander transferred to Örebro SK in Allsvenskan, the domestic top tier. He signed a three-year deal with the club,[7] after a successful trial.[8] He spent most of the season sidelined, nursing an abdominal muscle injury.[9][10]

On 5 July 2020, Collander made his debut for Örebro in Allsvenskan, in a 1–2 loss to IK Sirius, coming on as a late substitute.[11][12] He ended the 2020 season making 15 league appearances for Örebro, that finished 7th in the Allsvenskan table.[6]

On 10 February 2021, Collander signed a new three-year deal with Örebro.[13] He made 21 league appearances, scoring twice, before his season was cut short in early October due to a knee injury.[14] Collander was unable to save the club from suffering a relegation to Superettan, but was voted Örebro Player of the Year by the fans of the club.[15]

Hammarby IF

[edit]

On 12 January 2022, Collander transferred to Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract until the summer of 2026.[16][17] The transfer fee was reportedly set at around 4,5 million SEK.[18][19] Collander featured in the final of the 2021–22 Svenska Cupen, in which Hammarby lost by 4–5 on penalties to Malmö FF after the game ended in a 0–0 draw.[20][21] On 22 July 2022 after making five appearances in Allsvenskan, it was announced that Collander would be sidelined for several months due to an other knee injury,[22] eventually leading to him missing the rest of the 2022 season. In May 2023, when he had returned to training, Collander suffered a cruciate ligament injury, expected to keep him sidelined for the rest of the year.[23]

International career

[edit]

Between 2017 and 2019, Collander won 22 caps for the Swedish national under-17 team, scoring twice. He briefly captained the side and was called up to the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, where Sweden was eliminated in the group stage.[24][25]

On 3 June 2021, Collander made his debut for the Swedish national under–21 team, in a 2–0 win against Finland.[26]

Personal life

[edit]

His father Conny Collander is a former footballer who represented Västerås SK between 1989 and 1996, mainly in the Swedish second tier, before he was forced to retire due to several knee injuries.[27]
