Jonathan Svedberg, born on 22 March 1999 in Sweden, is an influential figure on the football pitch, particularly known for his ability to control the game as a robust central defensive midfielder. Plying his trade for St Johnstone, Svedberg stands at a height of 5ft 10in (1.78m) and carries a weight of 11st 6lb (73kg). His talents are best showcased while donning the number 21 jersey.
His worth on the football market is not to be scoffed at - currently valued at around Β£495k as cited by Transfermarkt. The deal he penned with St Johnstone tells he is to remain in Scotland until 31 May 2026, giving him about a year and four months of his contract.
Svedberg's professional career began in earnest in 2016 with Swedish side, Halmstads BK. A young, untested talent, Svedberg graced the field five times during his debut season. This exposure increased incrementally, with the following season at Halmstads seeing him make 11 first team appearances. 2022 marked a significant year for the midfielder as he not only made 25 first team appearances for Halmstads, but also managed to find the back of the net twice. This pattern continued into the subsequent years, with 24 appearances in 2023 and 29 in 2024, the latter season also seeing him score twice.
The Scottish winds blew in his favour as, in the 2024-2025 season, he found himself entering the annals of St Johnstone. However, his tenure so far hasn't seen him make any first team appearances, a situation that is likely to change given his track record and obvious potential.
