[edit] Career
Starting his career for Knäreds IK, he moved at the age of 14 to Halmstads BK, he played for the youth team until 2004 and in 2005 he played his first game for the senior team.[1] Following the hard competition for a place in the starting lineup he left Halmstads BK during the summer transfer window for Falkenbergs FF.[1] The 2008 season became a successful year for both Falkenbergs FF and Joel Johansson, as the club reached its highest position ever in Superettan, ending up at 6th place, this much due to Johanssons success in scoring goals, during the season he scored 16 goals in 28 matches, becoming third highest goalscorer in the season. The success in the 2008 season did not go unnoticed as several clubs showed interest in signing him, ending with him returning to Allsvenskan as he signd for IF Elfsborg.[2] However yet again having problem with reaching the starting lineup he was loaned to Allsvenska rivals GAIS in 2010 until the start of the FIFA 2010 World Cup,[3] performing well GAIS decided to extend the loan until the end of the 2010 season.[4]
On 29 July 2011 Halmstads BK announced that Joel Johansson would return to the club on loan from Elfsborg for the duration of the 2011 season.[5]
