Trond Dennis Widgren (born 28 March 1994) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a left back for IK Sirius in Allsvenskan.[1]
Widgren started to play football at IFK Östersund, before moving to other local club Östersunds FK at age 14. He made his debut for their senior team in 2010.[2]
During Widgren's time at the club, Östersund won several promotions from Division 2, Sweden's fourth tier, to Allsvenskan, the highest division.[3] He was a key player for long-time manager Graham Potter's side between 2010 and 2018,[4] also making several continental appearances in the Europa League.[3]
Widgren was a part of the Östersund side that won Svenska Cupen in 2017, the first domestic title in the club's history.[5]
On 2 January 2019, Widgren moved on a free transfer to fellow Allsvenskan club Hammarby IF, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract.[6] He made 25 league appearances during his first season, as the club finished 3rd in the table.[1]
On 30 May 2021, Widgren won the 2020–21 Svenska Cupen with Hammarby through a 5–4 win on penalties (0–0 after full-time) against BK Häcken in the final.[7] [8]
On 13 July 2021, Widgren was sent on loan for the remainder of the year to fellow Allsvenskan club IK Sirius.[9] [10] Making 18 league appearances, Widgren helped the club avoid relegation by finishing in 11th place in the table, before leaving at the end of the season.[11]
On 22 July 2022, Widgren transferred to IK Sirius on a permanent deal, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract.[12] [13]
Between 2011 and 2013, Widgren won three caps for the Swedish U19 national team.[14] He was the first player ever from Östersunds FK to feature in a domestic national team.[2]
Widgren was born in Östersund to a Swedish mother and a Norwegian father,[2] thus making him eligible for the Norway national team.[15]
