The 21-year-old midfielder comes most recently from Kif Örebro, where she was loaned from Rosengård.
“It feels very exciting to take a new step in my development.
Djurgården feels like a professional association and it will be a good environment for me to develop further in ", she says to the club's website.
“I have a good understanding of the game and want a lot of ball.
I usually have a central position in midfield and like to control the game from there.
I hope that I can bring out my qualities in the best way in Djurgården ", she continues.
A-team debut as a twelve-year-old
Lilja made her A-team debut already as a twelve-year-old in Skåne's Husie and then played in the Elite with Limhamn Bunkeflo as a 14-year-old.
Since 2017, she has played in the damallsvenskan.
She has also made 46 international appearances for Swedish youth national teams.
Sports director Jean Balawo is looking forward to another signing.
"I always think of character when we bring in new players and Nellie will contribute with a winning mentality and bullshit on the pitch.
She is a midfielder who can defend as well as attack and score a lot of points.
In addition, she has a lot of experience from national teams and damallsvenskan so she is class right through ", he says.
