Club career
Andersson signed for Linköpings FC in 2009 and made two league appearances in her first season as the club won the Damallsvenskan title. After three seasons where she was mainly a substitute, in the 2013 season she became an important starting player on the team.[1]

As a Sweden under-19 international Andersson featured at the 2012 UEFA Women's U-19 Championship in Turkey.[2] Sweden won the tournament by beating Spain 1–0 in the final after extra time.[3]
