Club career
A central defender, Gerrbrand began playing football for Älvsjö AIK before heading to Hammarby as at 14 years of age. He played through the youth ranks before making his professional debut in 2000, and played for five more seasons, winning the Swedish Allsvenskan in 2001. In July 2005 he signed for Leicester City, making 21 appearances in all competitions for the Championship side during the 2005–06 season.
Gerrbrand signed for the Norwegian club in July 2006, transferring from Leicester City because he did not have a future for the first-team. He signed a three and a half year contract with Fredrikstad. He played most of Fredikstad's games until the 2009 season, where he only played in two of their first thirteen games and was released by mutual consent on 15 June 2009.[1]
Just a few days after he left FFK, he signed for his youth and favourite club Hammarby IF. He signed a two and a half year-contract with "Bajen".[2]
International career
Gerrbrand made seven appearances for the Swedish Under-21 team, but has yet to play in a senior international match.
