Nacka FC have completed the signing of attacking midfielder Justin Salmon from Norwegian side Odd on a free transfer, in a deal that sees the 27-year-old move to the Swedish club with his contract running from 2026-04-05 to 2026-12-31.
The Liberia-Sweden dual national joins Nacka FC after leaving Odd, who compete in Norway’s OBOS-ligaen. According to the transfer registration, the move was finalised on 2026-04-05, with no transfer fee changing hands despite Salmon carrying a current market value of €200k. The agreement places him immediately on the books of the Swedish side, with his contract set to expire on 2026-12-31, after which he could become a free agent if no extension is agreed.
Salmon, listed primarily as a midfield – attacking midfield specialist, arrives at Nacka FC as a ready-made creative option. Standing at 1.83m and born in Skärholmen, he represents both Liberia and Sweden at national level, underlining the cross-border appeal of the move. His registration now shows Nacka FC as both his current club and national-team affiliation.
The switch also marks a change of environment following his spell in the OBOS-ligaen, Norway’s second tier, where he was contracted to Odd. While performance statistics, appearances and recent match data are not disclosed in the available records, his continued valuation at €200k indicates he retains a solid reputation as an attacking asset within the Scandinavian market.
From a league perspective, Salmon’s new club is listed under a competition currently denoted as “N/A”, placing focus squarely on the player rather than the profile of the division. Nevertheless, the transfer moves him from Norwegian football back to Sweden, one of his home nations, and situates him in a setting that could provide regular minutes in his preferred attacking midfield role.
The deal’s free-transfer nature is notable, given his market value, and provides Nacka FC with a low-risk opportunity to integrate a 27-year-old in his physical and tactical prime. For Salmon, the contract term through 2026-12-31 offers a defined window to re-establish momentum, enhance his output and potentially attract interest from higher-profile leagues or clubs.
As the new season unfolds, the focus will turn to how effectively he can translate his attacking qualities and dual-nationality experience into consistent performances for Nacka FC, knowing that a strong spell up to the end of his current deal could shape the next decisive move of his career.
