Having spent his youth years at Olympia, he returned to Helsingborg after a four year spell at Helsingborg's feeder club Ängelholms FF. Upon returning to Helsinborg, Holgersson became an instant starter in central defense. During the 2011 season Holgersson helped the club in becoming the first team in Swedish history to win a treble, comprising of Super Cup, League and Swedish Cup titles. On 2 January 2012 Helsingborg confirmed that Holgersson had rejected to renew his contract with the club. [1]
Holgersson was rumoured to be in talks with New York Red Bulls and on 3 January 2012 Red Bulls coach Hans Backe indicated that the player had agreed to join the club.[2]
After a very successful 2011 season Holgersson received his first call up to join Sweden for its friendly matches against Bahrain on 18 January 2012 and Qatar on 23 January 2012.[3]
