He won the 1999 "Swedish Midfielder of the Year" award, before leaving the club in winter 1999.

He moved to Brøndby IF in Denmark, who bought a number of Scandinavian players that year, under Norwegian manager Åge Hareide. In his two years in Brøndby, Nordin was named 2001 "Brøndby Player of the Year" and won the 2002 Danish Superliga championship.
