Playing career

Salmonsson began his professional career during the 2002 Allsvenskan playoffs with Almtuna. He made his Elitserien debut during the 2003–04 season with Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Elitserien. He then moved to North America after two seasons with Djurgården to play one season with the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League during the 2005–06 season. The following year, Salmonsson went back to Sweden, signing as a free agent, to play for Brynäs.[1] During his second season with Brynäs he moved to Rögle of the second-tier league HockeyAllsvenskan.[2]

After three seasons with Linköpings HC on July 17, 2015, Salmonsson left Sweden as a free agent and signed his first contract in Germany with Kölner Haie of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) on a one-year agreement. Salmonsson played two seasons with the Sharks before signing with second DEL club, the Iserlohn Roosters. Following three seasons in the DEL, Salmonsson opted to return to his native Sweden, agreeing to terms after a successful tryout with top flight SHL club, Timrå IK, on November 8, 2018.[3]
