Early career and Kalmar
Israelsson joined Kalmar FF in 2005 from local club Lindsdals IF. He played three games during the 2008 Allsvenskan, when Kalmar were crowned champions. He became a regular at Kalmar from 2010 and onwards, playing 76 games during the following three seasons and scoring 13 times. Before the start of the 2013 Allsvenskan he incurred a fractured toe witch eventually caused him to miss half of the season.
Hammarby
On 6 December 2013, he signed for Hammarby IF. This shortly after Nanne Bergstrand, his former manager at Kalmar, had been appointed as Hammarby's new manager. During his first season at Hammarby, he helped he team to gain promotion to Allsvenskan. In 2015, he scored six goals in 22 games, being voted "player of the year" by the supporters of the club. In a local derby against AIK on 27 September 2015, he scored a late header which secured a 1-0 win for Hammarby. In the aftermath of the goal, he suffered a concussion as well as a broken foot. This goal was later voted as the "goal of the season" by the Hammarby supporters.
On 1 February 2016, he signed a new three-year deal with Hammarby, keeping him tied to the club until 2018. In the 2016 season Israelsson was the club's top scorer, managing to strike 10 goals in the league play.
Zwolle
On 14 January 2017, it was announced that Israelsson had signed a 2.5 year deal with Dutch Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle. The transfer fee was undisclosed. He made his competitive debut for the side on 5 February 2017 in a game against Sparta Rotterdam. Israelsson was brought on as a substitute during the final stage of the game, scoring only minutes later whilst securing a 3-2 win for Zwolle.
