Susanne "Sussie" Nilsson (born 30 December 1991) is a Swedish goalkeeper currently playing for Sunnanå SK in the Damallsvenskan. She previously played for AIK Solna and Göteborg FC.
Club career
Nilsson signed for Göteborg FC in 2009 from Byttorps IF.[1] She found her path to the first team blocked; first by Hedvig Lindahl then Kristin Hammarström. She spent part of the 2011 season on loan to Hovås Billdal IF, then signed for AIK ahead of 2012.[2]
During 2012 Nilsson was being watched by scouts from Turbine Potsdam and other foreign clubs. Her contract with AIK contained a relegation release clause.[3] When AIK went down Nilsson signed a one year contract with Damallsvenskan newcomers Sunnanå SK.[4]
International career
As a Swedish under-19 international she took part as a reserve in the 2009 U-19 European Championship[5] and the 2010 U-20 World Cup.[6]
Despite being capped by Sweden up to under-23 level, Nilsson was also eligible to play for Serbia. In January 2013 she was considering an offer from the Serbs to attend their national team training camp ahead of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification tournament.[7]
