Career edit
Dahlström started his youth career in Strands IF and played senior football for them in 2015. Then followed four seasons in Hudiksvalls FF in Division 2.[1][3] In 2020, Hudiksvalls FF's league was suspended due to the pandemic. In June 2020, Dahlström joined GIF Sundsvall to be able to play on a higher level.[4] He made his Superettan debut later that month against Dalkurd, and after GIF Sundsvall were promoted from the 2021 Superettan, he made his Allsvenskan debut in April 2022 against Sirius.[2]
In early 2022 Dahlström missed 7 matches after sustaining a broken scaphoid bone. For Dahlström, it was demoralizing not to be able to play football with a hand injury.[5] He also lost his place in the team. He joined Jönköpings Södra IF on loan in August 2022, to play the remainder of 2022, and J-Södra later wanted to retain him.[6][7] Instead, Dahlström left GIF Sundsvall (who had been relegated to Superettan) for Allsvenskan club Varbergs BoIS.[8]
