He came to Brommapojkarna in 2002, previously he has played for Enskede IK and Älvsjö AIK as a midfielder and as a winger. Guterstam was retrained to be a striker after he was recruited by Brommapojkarna, at the initiative of the then manager of the team, Benny Persson.
Olof was the winner of the Superettan Goalscorer List 2006, alongside Stefan Rodevåg of Falkenbergs FF, having scored a total of 17 goals during the season.

Instead of following the club to Superettan, Olof signed a half-year loan contract with a Belgian club, FC Brussel. He was very successful there, scoring 4 goals in 9 games. He returned to Brommapojkarna in May 2008. Shortly after his return he signed a half-year loan contract, with an option of a permanent transfer, this time with Swedish club Hammarby IF.
