There were already reports in May that Anton Gradin would become a part of Tingsryds AIF. At the time, the forward only confirmed that he had talked with them but that he was not yet close to making a decision.
Gradin joined the EVZ Academy in 2020. In his two years in the Swiss League, the forward appeared in 94 regular-season (30 goals, 13 assists) games and two postseason games (one goal).
