ntupdate = 24 September 2008Johan Dahlin (born 8 September 1986) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Lyn in Norway. He is a member of the Swedish national under-21 football team.
Dahlin began his senior career at Åsebro IF in 2004. After one season with the Swedish
Division 3 side, he was invited toOslo to train with Lyn and was subsequently signed until the end of the 2009 season.In 2005, Dahlin was the third choice as goalkeeper behind
Ali Al-Habsi andNuno Marques . With both Al-Habsi and Marques gone after the season, and having made a good impression during the winter months, Dahlin became managerHenning Berg 's preferred choice in goal, ahead of newcomerEddie Gustafsson . He made thirteen appearances in the first half of the 2006 season. His debut came against Start in the league opener on 9 April, a game that ended in a goalless draw. After the summer, the roles were reversed and Dahlin received little playing time, only making one more appearance when he came on a substitute for an injured Gustafsson. For his performance in 2006, Dahlin received his first call-ups to the Swedish under-21 team, making six appearances in total that year.In 2007, Dahlin acted mainly as a reserve for Eddie Gustafsson, making only four appearances all season, and it became clear that Gustafsson would also be the first choice in goal in 2008. Therefore, in a bid to receive playing time at a high level, Dahlin agreed to a loan deal with Swedish side Trelleborg. He returned to Lyn in August 2008, having made fourteen appearances in the
Allsvenskan .
