Johansson was born in Getinge (Halland) in the southwest of Sweden. He started to play football with five years at local side Getinge IF, but moved at the age of 15 to Halmstads BK. When he arrived at Halmstads BK there was another player in the club with the name Andreas Johansson, to separate the players they were each given a nickname based upon where they have come from, Andreas Johansson (born 1982) was called "Ante G" (Getinge), while the other Andreas Johansson was nicknamed "Ante V" (Vallås).[5]

After four years in the reserve team he made his debut in 2002 against Örgryte IS and established himself quickly as a regular player in the team. In the coming years he played 165 matches for the club and scored nine goals. A second place in 2004 was the biggest success in this period.[6]

VfL Bochum

On 22 June 2009, Johansson left Halmstads BK and signed a contract with Bundesliga club VfL Bochum for an undisclosed fee and on 1 July he joined the German club.[7][8]

International career

Playing several matches for the Swedish U-21 team, he made his debut for the Senior team on 29 January 2009 in a match against Mexico during Sweden's yearly friendly tournament in USA.[9]
