Career

Johan Andersson began his career as a hockey player in the junior section of IF Troja Ljungby - for whose first team he was in the HockeyAllsvenskan, the Swedish second division, active from 2000 to 2004. Subsequently, the winger played two years for Linköpings HC of the Elitserien, and three years for its league rivals Timrå IK. For the 2009/10 season he signed a contract with the reigning Swedish champions Färjestad BK. There he could indeed earn a regular place, but unable to match the yield point of the two previous years, which is why his contract was not renewed.

The 2010/11 season spent the former national player with his former club Linköpings HC, before the following season with the Timrå IK joined another former club.

Since 2013 Andersson has returned to his hometown club under contract.
