About Jonas Svensson

Jonas Svensson (born 6 March 1993) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays for Eliteserien club Rosenborg. Originally a midfielder, Svensson was converted to right-back in 2014.

As a 15- and 16-year-old, Svensson played several games in the 2. divisjon for Levanger. In August 2009, Svensson moved to Rosenborg. His debut came on 10 March 2011 in Rosenborg's 4–4 draw against Lillestrøm. He then made his first league start against Haugesund, replacing the injured Michael Jamtfall. He signed a professional contract with Rosenborg in June 2011 until the end of the 2013 season.

During the 2014 season, with Cristian Gamboa struggling with injury and later attending the World Cup, Svensson stepped in as a right-back for Rosenborg, and he did so with success. After Gamboa's move to West Bromwich Albion following an impressive world cup with Costa Rica, he continued to play right-back throughout the rest of the season. After the season, he made the decision to switch from midfield to right-back permanently.
