Djurgårdens IF has loaned goalkeeper Max Croon to Gefle IF for the 2026 season, according to an announcement on Djurgården's official website. The 20-year-old will play for Gefle IF in Ettan Norra. Croon reportedly said he feels good about the move, having spent time with the team and getting positive impressions.
Djurgården's sports director Bosse Andersson stated it is a permanent loan, meaning Croon will not have dual playing affiliations during the year. Croon previously played four matches in Superettan for Östersunds FK last season and has been on loan to Sandvikens IF, Viggbyholms IK FF, and Östersunds FK in the past. According to reports from Gefle Dagblad and Arbetarbladet, Croon had been training with Gefle IF during the preseason, and the loan was anticipated earlier in February.
