Club career
Persson played in central defence and had considerable aerial power. He played the majority of his career at Swedish club
Austrian Bundesliga
— shortly followed by the club's bankruptcy. When Persson arrived at AGF, he was hailed as the new master of a very fragile defence, but after a few weeks he ruptured his ligament and he was never able to play an official match for the club before he retired from professional football on 4 September 2008.
International career
Persson represented the
friendly game against Finland.[2] He made two more international appearances in friendlies against Mexico and the Czech Republic in 2005 before winning his fourth and ultimately last international cap in a friendly against Jordan on 23 January 2006.[2]
