Career summary

Eriksson began his British speedway career in 2001 with King’s Lynn with whom he had two relatively successful seasons scoring over 400 points in 71 appearances. In 2003 he joined Ipswich on loan late on in the season and made only 14 appearances. Eriksson’s parent club (Oxford) recalled him for the end of the 2005 season but at the start of the 2006 season Eriksson was released after only 13 meetings.

Eriksson did not expect to ride in the British Elite League in 2008 due to losing a large amount of money when Oxford were forced to shut down.

He signed in January 2008 on an average of 3.06 which he obtained in 2006 as Oxford's 2007 results were expunged from the records.cite web | title = Freddie is Ford's seventh star | publisher = Bournemouth Daily Echo | date = 8 January 2008 | url = http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/search/display.var.1947985.0.freddie_is_fords_seventh_star.php | accessdate = 2008-03-25 ] On the 8th April 2008, Poole signed Eriksson on a permanent deal from the BSPA.
