Club career
Born in Gothenburg with Guinean roots, Dyrestam spent six years at IFK Göteborg, where he made 67 appearances. He left the club in the summer of 2013, after his contract had expired.[3] In February 2014, it was reported a move to Bolton Wanderers had fallen through and that he was close to signing for their Championship rivals Derby County.[3]
In March, Dyrestam moved to Norwegian side Aalesunds FK on a free transfer.[4] After a lengthy injury spell, he made his official debut for Aalesunds FK in a 3–0 win against Sandnes Ulf on 12 June 2014. On 16 January 2019, he signed a year-and-a-half contract with Greek Super League club for an undisclosed fee. [5]
