Before the beginning of the 2009 season, Mikael was signed by AIK from the club's feeder club Väsby United. His debut for the first team came in the first game of the season when he came on as a substitute against Halmstad BK. During his stay in AIK he struggled with injuries. However, with his 12 appearances, he took part in the champion winning squad.
Mikael has already been with AIK, six years ago when he was a part of one of AIK's youth squads.
In January 2010, Mikael signed a two-year deal with Södertälje side Assyriska. In December 2012, he retired from football at the relatively early age of 27.
