Club career
After suffering injuries during the 2001 season Ronnlund lost her motivation for football and decided to leave Umea.
She retired again after the 2009 season, to concentrate on her family. As Soberg also left, Umea IK signed Caroline Jonsson as a replacement.
International career
Ronnlund started playing for Sweden's national youth teams in 1993. At the 1995 edition of the Albena Cup, Ronnlund was pressed into service as a makeshift forward after a sickness bug swept through the Sweden under-20 squad. She scored the winning goal in the 1–0 final win over Ukraine.
Ronnlund played seven times for Sweden's national team. She made her senior international debut against Norway on 10 October 1998.
