He signed for the club in 2002, leaving IFK Göteborg. He was known as a versatile player who runs a lot and whose headings are a fearful weapon for opponents. He has played for the Sweden national football team. In January 2008, it was officially announced that Andersson's contract with HIF would not be extended. Andersson decided to end his professional career and start a civilian one instead, working as a coordinator for the public high schools in Helsingborg.
