After two seasons with the Superettan side Jönköpings Södra, he rejoined Husqvarna FF before the 2013 season. As a child, Tegström dreamed of becoming a professional ice hockey player in the NHL and for the Swedish national ice hockey team, Tre kronor. He played for HV71, attended the hockey school in Jönköping, and played football as a hobby. After he quit playing hockey, he worked at the local Intersport store while playing football for Tenhults IF. He later joined Swedish Football Division 2 side Husqvarna FF. In December 2015, Tegström was unveiled as the new manager of Assyriska IK in the Swedish Football Division 3.
