Club career

Tidman's past clubs have included BK Kick, Malmö FF, KAA Gent, RAA La Louvière, Stockport County, Sheffield Wednesday and FC Midtjylland. In early 2007 he spent a period on trial with Derry City, before impressing Pat Fenlon and being offered a two-year contract.^[1] In an inauspicious debut for City, Tidman conceded four goals as Derry City fell to a 4–1 home league defeat to Cork City on 9 April 2007.^{[citation needed]}

In October 2008 he moved back to Denmark to play for Akademisk Boldklub of the Danish Viasat Sport Divisionen and signed on 15 April 2009 with IF Limhamn Bunkeflo.^[2]

Tidman has represented Sweden at under-18 and under-21 levels.^[3]^[4]
