Club career

Early career

Fällman grew up in Mariefred,[1] and started his senior career in 2007 with Eskilstuna City in Division 2, Sweden's fourth tier.[2]

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.[1][3]

In the beginning of 2012, Fällman signed a three-month deal with AIK, but was not offered a contract extension with the club.[4]

Gefle IF

On 21 March 2012, Fällman signed a multi-year contract with Gefle IF in Allsvenskan.[5]

He soon established himself as a key player in manager Pelle Olsson's side,[6] and he was named the new club captain in 2015.[7]

In total, Fällman made 111 league appearances for Gelfe IF across four seasons in the Swedish top division.[3]

Dalian Transcendence

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.[3]
