Marcus Högström (born March 20, 1989) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently playing for Djurgårdens IF Hockey in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

Playing career

Högström played in the youth set-ups of Svegs IK, Skellefteå AIK and MODO Hockey. He then spent the 2009-10 campaign with Molot-Prikamie Perm in Russia’s second-tier league. He made his Elitserien debut playing with Skellefteå AIK during the 2010–11 Elitserien season and would jump between Sweden's top-flight and the second division HockeyAllsvenskan in the following years, playing for clubs like Timrå IK, IF Sundsvall Hockey, Malmö Redhawks, Almtuna IS and Djurgårdens IF.[1]

After two full seasons with Djurgårdens IF in the Elitserie, he left for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) in 2016, joining HC Spartak Moscow.[2] He was waived by the KHL side in late November 2016[3] and accepted an offer from Finnish Liiga outfit HIFK a couple of days later.[4]
