I have had a fantastic time in Ystads IF, that has given me so much, not only on the court but also outisde, and I am forever grateful that the club believed in me for so many years. I would like to thank the club for giving me the chance to move on with my life. Thanks for nine years," the Swedish left wing stated in the press release of Ystads IF.
