Striker Marcus Antonsson will play for Halmstad in the coming season.

The Allsvenskan newcomer borrows him from Malmö FF.

- I have thought carefully about this.

In many ways I would have liked to have stayed here in Malmö, but I simply feel that I have a greater chance of continuous playing time in Halmstad.

I'm in a phase of my career when I need it.

There are no hard feelings at all, says Marcus Antonsson to MFF's website.

The 29-year-old is now back at the club where he made his Allsvenskan debut for 2010.

- He is a genuine HBK: are, a returnee who is also an extremely skilled forward, says Halmstads coach Magnus Haglund.

This is the second time that Antonsson has been loaned out from Malmö since he joined in 2018. In the autumn, he was loaned to Norwegian Stabaek.
