Club career
Early career
Edman played for a number of clubs during his career. He played for
Tottenham Hotspur
In July 2004,
Rennes
In the last week of August, Spurs accepted an offer from French club Rennes.[4] It did not take long for Edman to impress his new manager, László Bölöni, and once again established himself as first choice at left-back.
Wigan Athletic
In January 2008, Edman was signed by Wigan Athletic for a transfer fee of £500,000.[5] The arrival of Edman was a good deal for Wigan Athletic, since the club did not find a good replacement after the departure of Leighton Baines, the previous summer. In March 2008, Edman was injured in a match against Blackburn Rovers, damaging his anterior crutiate ligament in his knee.[6] This means he missed the rest of Wigan's season, as well as Euro 2008. Edman made his return to the Wigan team, as a substitute in January 2009 at Old Trafford, as Wigan lost 1–0 to Manchester United.[7] However, he has lacked playing time, due to injuries and Maynor Figueroa's impressive performances throughout the season, which have earned him a spot in Roberto Martínez's starting eleven. Edman played his last game in the Latics' 9–1 loss against Tottenham Hotspur in November,[8] where he had a torrid time against Aaron Lennon.[9]
Helsingborgs IF
On 5 February 2010, Helsingborgs IF confirmed that they had re-signed Edman.[10] Edman signed a five-year contract with the Swedish club. In December 2012 it was announced Edman would take up a coaching position at Helsingborgs IF.[11]
International career
Edman was a part of the
He scored his first and only goal, a free kick, in a 2006 World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in March 2005.[12]
Edman missed UEFA Euro 2008 due to a serious knee injury. He retired from the national team the following year.
