Nilsson, together with Ekstrand in defense, was a key player in the 2009 season. He helped the club win 1-0 against Goteborg and kept a clean sheet. The win was followed by two more against GAIS, Hammarby and Hammarby. He and Ekstrand signed a contract extension for him, which kept him in the team until 2012. Nilsson was a regular starter in the first team until he was absent twice in July. Nilsson was able to return to the first team despite this injury and remained a regular for the remainder of the season. Nilson still managed to finish the season with 28 appearances in all competitions.

In December 2010, Nilsson was called up by Sweden for the first time. The following month, on 22 January 2011, Nilsson made his (and only appearance) debut for the national side, coming in a 1–1 draw with South Africa.

Despite making a return against Heracles Almelo on 18 September 2011, Nilsson was sent-off for the second time this season on 15 October 2011, in a 1–0 loss against PSV Eindhoven. In a match against Feyenoord on 11 December 2011, Nilsson suffered a knee injury during the match and was substituted early in the match.
