After two years with Almtuna IS playing in the HockeyAllsvenskan he signed a one-year contract with AIK to play in the SHL (Elitserien at the time) for 2010-11 Andersson then signed a one-year contract with Timrå for the 2011-12 in which he only played 11 games including the Kvalserien.

Having left Timrå after the Kvalserien in which Timrå were relegated to HockeyAllsvenskan, Andersson went back to Södertälje SK to a one-year contract for the 2012-13 season. Andersson then re-signed with Södertälje SK for the 2013-14 season.
