Jonas Svensson (born 6 March 1993 in Verdal) is a Norwegian footballer who plays for Rosenborg. Originally a midfielder, Svensson was converted to defender in 2014, and is now the club's regular right-back.

Career

As a fifteen- and sixteen-year-old, Svensson played several games in the 2. Divisjon for Levanger FK. In August 2009, Svensson moved to Rosenborg.

His debut came on 10 March 2011 in Rosenborg's thrilling 4-4 draw against Lillestrøm.[1] Svensson then made his first league start against Haugesund, replacing the long-term injured Michael Jamtfall.[2] He signed a professional contract with Rosenborg in June 2011 to the end of the 2013 season.[3]

In Rosenborg's 4-0 win over Sarpsborg 08 on 3 June 2011, Svensson scored two goals.[4]

On 13 July 2011, Svensson made his European debut against Icelandic side Breiðablik in the Champions League Second qualifying round.[5]

During the 2014 season, with Cristian Gamboa struggling with injury and later attending the World Cup, Svensson stepped in as a right back for Rosenborg, and he did so with success.[6] So after Gamboa was sold to West Bromwich after an impressive world cup with Costa Rica, Svensson continued to play right back through the rest of the season. After the season he made the decision to switch fra midfield to right back permanently.[7]

On 20 April 2016, Svensson reached 200 games for Rosenborg at the age of 23 years and 45 days, making him the youngest player for the club to do so. He beat Per Ciljan Skjelbred's record by 14 days.[8]
