Brodin, a defensive central midfielder,[3] began her senior career with local team Bälinge IF. In October 2007, at the age of 17, she was given a four-year contract with the club and was described by the coach as a future national team player.[4]
Brodin spent three seasons with Bälinge before their relegation from the Damallsvenskan in 2008. Ahead of the 2009 season, she rejected an offer from Tyresö FF and joined AIK instead. When AIK suffered relegation in 2010, a disappointed Brodin moved to Tyresö explaining that she had to keep playing Damallsvenskan football to be considered for the national team.[5]
Tyresö won the Damallsvenskan title for the first time in the 2012 season and Brodin collected her first league winner's medal.[6] With competition for places increasingly fierce at Tyresö, Brodin moved to Piteå on loan during the 2013 mid-season break.[7][8]
In November 2013 Brodin made her transfer to Piteå permanent, despite reported interest from other clubs.[9] After helping Piteå to a third-place finish in 2015, she left for Djurgårdens IF, explaining that the social aspect of living back in Stockholm had attracted her.[10]
A serious knee injury sustained in January 2017 ruled Brodin out of the entire 2017 Damallsvenskan season and UEFA Women's Euro 2017. Although that was the final year of her Djurgårdens contract, she was happy to sign a one-year extension in October 2017 and expected to be back to full fitness in 2018.[11]
In March 2018 Brodin announced that she was pregnant with her first child. Although she had already resumed training after her knee injury, she was forced to put her football comeback plans on hold.[12]
In February 2010, Brodin and Antonia Göransson were called up to train with the senior national team for the Algarve Cup.[20] By June 2013, Brodin had collected 11 caps for Sweden at the Under-23 level.[21] National coachPia Sundhage called Brodin up to a senior team training camp at Bosön in November 2013.[22]
On 8 April 2016, Brodin scored her first goal for the Swedish national senior team, making it 1–0 as Sweden beat Slovakia 3–0 in Poprad during a qualifying game for the 2017 European Championship in the Netherlands.[25] Despite requiring surgery on a meniscus injury in mid-May 2016, Brodin was named in Sweden's 18-player squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[26] She described her selection as a "dream come true".[27] She made a 15-minute substitute appearance against hosts Brazil in a disappointing 5–1 defeat, then started the semi-final victory over the same opposition as Sweden ultimately secured silver medals.[28]
