Raised in Nynäshamn with his father, and having a mother living in Vallentuna,[2] Fallenius started his footballing career with IF Brommapojkarna in 2012. In the summer of 2014, Fallenius played against Juventus in the final of a European youth tournament.[2]
On 29 November 2018, Fallenius signed his first professional contract and was promoted to the first-team squad of Brommapojkarna for the 2019 Superettan season.[4] He made his Superettan debut on 7 April 2019 in a 4–0 win over Dalkurd FF, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute for Albin Linnér.[5]
On 4 January 2021, it was announced that Fallenius had signed with Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF on a three-and-a-half year deal.[6][7] He made his debut for the club on 4 March, coming on as a half-time substitute for Michael Lumb in a 0–0 draw against Randers.[8]
On 23 September 2021, Fallenius scored his first goal for the club in an 8–1 win over Allerød FK in the Danish Cup third round.[9] In the following round of the cup, he managed to score his second goal as Brøndby beat Aalborg Freja 3–0 at Aalborg Portland Park.[10]
On 31 March 2022, Fallenius was sent on loan to Norwegian First Division club Start for one season, with an option for him to return to Brøndby in the summer of 2022.[11] He made his debut on 4 April in a 5–1 win over Åsane, impressing by scoring a brace and providing one assist to Jonatan Braut Brunes, the first cousin of star striker Erling Haaland, who scored a hat-trick.[12] In July 2022, Fallenius got injured and was set to be out for three month. A month later, on 5 August 2022, Brøndby re-called him, so he could focus on his rehabilitation.[13]
