During the 2014 season, with Cristian Gamboa struggling with injury and later attending the World Cup, Svensson stepped in as a right-back for Rosenborg, and he did so with success.[6] After Gamboa's move to West Bromwich Albion after an impressive world cup with Costa Rica, he continued to play right-back throughout the rest of the season. After the season, he made the decision to switch from midfield to right-back permanently.[7]
On 20 April 2016, Svensson reached 200 games for Rosenborg at the age of 23 years and 45 days, making him the youngest player for the club to do so and beating Per Ciljan Skjelbred's record by 14 days.[8]
On 30 January 2017, Svensson signed for AZ.[9]
On 10 July 2021, Svensson signed a three-year deal with the newly promoted Süper Lig side Adana Demirspor.[10]
On 10 January 2024, Svensson signed a two-year deal with fellow Süper Lig club Beşiktaş[11]
