Niklas Sandberg is a retired Swedish centre-back who last played for Swedish Superettan club Brage.
He started his career in the Swedish top flight in AIK in 1996 but only played two games during two years.
He played there for three years and then returned to AIK in 2004.
In May 2007 he was traded to Romanian first league side CFR Cluj, becoming the first Swedish footballer ever to play in Liga 1.
Sandberg is tall and powerfully built, and thus physically strong and tough to beat in the air.
He reads the game well and is a decent passer.
Thus, he can also play as a defensive midfielder.
In December 2009, Niklas Sandberg approached Singapore's S League champions, SAFFC on his own accord and eventually signed for them.
SAFFC has qualified for the 2010 AFC Champions League Group Stages and this would make Sandberg a player who has played in both UEFA and AFC Champions League in his entire career thus far.
