Björn Runström

Björn Runström was a striker who was at Fulham from 2006 until 2008. He signed under Chris Coleman but made only one league appearance before being shipped out on loan and then sold to Odense BK, failing to make an impact at Craven Cottage. He made 20 appearances for Sweden at U21 level.

Before Fulham
Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Björn had progressed through Hammarby's academy before a move to Italy at the age of 17 to Bologna. He would then move to Chievo and Fiorentina respectively over the next two years, making a handful of first team appearances before returning to his childhood club Hammarby in 2004.

It was the next two years where he would go on to become a mainstay in the Sweden U21 national team whilst with Hammarby, before his move to England.

Fulham (2006-2008)
Björn signed for Fulham on 12 July 2006 from Hammarby for a reported fee of around £700,000. He made his debut away to Tottenham Hotspur, coming off of the bench during a 0-0 draw. Days later, he would make his full debut during a 2-1 loss against Wycombe Wanderers in the League Cup at Craven Cottage.

This would be the last that Fulham fans would see of Björn as he was deemed not good enough by Chris Coleman and Lawrie Sanchez. He spent the latter half of 2006-07 on loan to Luton Town, before spending the whole 2007-08 season on loan at Kaiserslautern.

After his loan spell had ended, he was let go in the summer of 2008.

After Fulham
Björn signed for Odense BK on a free transfer following his release from Fulham, where he spent nearly three years before returning to Hammarby from 2011 until 2012.

He moved to the United States in 2012 and made three appearances for New England Revolution before he was released. This was to be his last professional club at the relatively young age of just 28.
