Nylund was a left full back. He played in Trelleborgs FF from the start of 2008, after a transfer from Aalesunds FK. Due to injuries he never got established at Trelleborg and left on a free transfer after the season of 2009. In 2010, he returned to his old club GIF Sundsvall to regain fitness after having done rehab for a cruciate ligament injury. After a few months of training he signed a contract with GIF Sundsvall lasting the rest of the 2010 season.

He has played once for the Sweden national football team in 2005.
