It was last week that SVT Sport revealed that 30-year-old Oliver Ekroth had agreed with the Icelandic top club Vikingur Reykjavik.
On Friday, he was presented by the reigning league champions.
- I am very happy to have Oliver here, we looked for a long time for the right player, he is not only the right football player, but has the right character.
- He is hungry to help us defend the titles and do well in Europe, says Vikingur's coach Arnar Gunnlagusson to the club's website.
Mittbacken was team captain in Degerfors and left the club in January, after four seasons.
According to information to SVT Sport, Ekroth declined offers from, among others, Norway, the USA and other teams in the Allsvenskan to get the chance to play Champions League qualifiers with the Icelandic team.
