Playing career edit

Täby IS edit

Maron started off his career with his hometown team Täby IS.[1] In 1993, Täby IS was a mid-table team in Division 3 Norra Svealand when they were drawn to play the Division 1 Norra team Djurgårdens IF in the 1993–94 Svenska Cupen.[2][3] Djurgården ended up winning the game 2–1, but Maron put in such an impressive performance for Täby that Djurgården decided to sign him for the upcoming 1994 Division 1 Norra season.[4][5][6]

Djurgårdens IF edit

In 1994, Maron played in nine league games as Djurgården won the Division 1 Norra title and was promoted to Allsvenskan.[4] During the 1995 Allsvenskan season, he played in five league games for Djurgården as his team finished sixth in the table and qualified for the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup group stage.[4]

Later career edit

Maron left Djurgården after the 1995 season and signed for Älvsjö AIK in Division 2 Västra Svealand in January 1996.[7][8] He would later go on to represent both IFK Täby and Täby IS.[1][9]
