Umeå IK has managed to bring back their 1998-2001 goalkeeper Ulla-Karin Rönnlund from retirement. Rönnlund (then Thelin) left football at only 24 and has since married and is now a mother with two small children. She tells that when Sofia Lundgren left for AIK she, jokingly, told her friend Maria Bergkvist (the Umeå defender) that this maybe was the time for her to make her come-back. A few days later Roland Arnqvist was on the phone.
Ulla-Karin Rönnlund was Umeå IK's starting goalkeeper for 4 seasons and has 2 Damallsvenskan gold medals. She also played four national team matches.

Umeå's head coach André Jeglertz confirms: "We need one midfielder and one forward, and we have to find established players". Rasmussen is flattered by the interest and says she will listen to what Umeå has to say.
