Joakim Sjöhage is a Swedish footballer who's currently playing for the Swedish club Elfsborg. He is on loan from SK Brann.

Career

Sjöhage started his career in the Swedish club IF Elfsborg where he won the Swedish Premier League in 2006 and Supercupen in 2007. He was a regular on the team that won the Premiership-gold, but in the 2007, Elfsborg bought in new strikers and went over to using a one-striker-formation, thus making it hard for Sjöhage to retain a spot on the team.

On July 3, it was reported that Norwegian Premier League title contenders Brann were interested in his signature [ [http://www.dagbladet.no/sport/2007/07/03/505250.html Brann med millionbud på svensk 20-åring - tippeligaen - Dagbladet.no ] ] . He signed a 3.5 year deal with Brann on July 4 2007. [ [http://www.nettavisen.no/innenriks/ibergen/article1183748.ece Nettavisen - Sjöhage klar for Brann ] ]

He got his debut for Brann on July 29 2007, when he got a couple of minutes against Strømsgodset IF in the Norwegian Premier League [ [http://www.brann.no/index.php?valg=terminliste&kamp=452 Sportsklubben Brann - Ekte lidenskap har et navn ] ] .

He struggled to get a regular place in Mons Ivar Mjeldes first eleven, finding himself fourth in line for a starting position after international strikers Thorstein Helstad, Robbie Winters and Ármann Smári Björnsson, even after Bengt Sæternes left for the danish team Odense BK [ [http://fotball.aftenposten.no/eliteserien/article86915.ece 100% Fotball ] ] .

In 2008 he returnd to Elfsborg on loan, with an option to make the move permanent.
