Career

Born in Sundsvall, Hallenius started his professional career with GIF Sundsvall, and is widely regarded as one of their greatest players of all time.{{cite web|url=https://www.st.nu/2019-11-16/topp-100-ranking--hallenius-tar-plats-som-nummer-tva-en-del-av-mig-langtar-redan-hem--finns-nagra-rekord-till |title=Topp 100-ranking – Hallenius tar plats som nummer två: "En del av mig längtar redan hem – finns några rekord till" |accessdate=27 April 2023 |date=16 November 2019 }}

During the transfer period on the summer of 2009 there were rumors that Hallenius was close to sign for Örgryte IS and several news papers went out with the news that Örgryte IS had signed him, which was denied by the club. Although the fact was that the club had made an agreement with GIF Sundsvall, but Hallenius hesitated about the transfer. On 7 July 2009, Hallenius signed a 3.5-year contract with Hammarby IF in the Allsvenskan.{{cite web|url=http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/aktuellt/artiklar/?articleid%3D34252 |title=Hammarby Fotboll |accessdate=25 January 2017 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20110617073828/http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/aktuellt/artiklar/?articleid=34252 |archivedate=17 June 2011 }} During the autumn of 2009, Hallenius made 8 appearances of which he played 4 as a starter, but did not score a goal. Hammarby IF were relegated to Superettan.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}} During the 2010 season, Hallenius scored 18 goals in 23 matches, including a goal away against Syrianska FC on 20 June 2010 which was described as "wonderful" and "fantastic" and which was compared to a famous Marco van Basten goal. It was voted second in the FIFA Puskás Award.{{cite web |last1=Tse |first1=Vivian |title=Swede narrowly misses FIFA best goal award |url=https://www.thelocal.se/20110110/31336 |website=thelocal.se |accessdate=16 September 2020 |date=10 January 2011}}

On 1 September 2010, Hallenius signed for Genoa who immediately loaned him back to Hammarby for the rest of the 2010 season. He joined up with his new teammates on 4 January 2011.
