In November 2005, Jonsson signed for AIK on a free transfer, and managed to out-compete Jimmy Tamandi for the right-back spot at AIK. Impressive play from Jonsson made him frequently named as a contender for said spot in the national team.^{[citation needed]}

In addition to his defensive abilities, Jonsson is noted for his well-timed attacking runs and accurate crossing, and for his effective partnership with right winger Kenny Pavey.^{[citation needed]} Jonsson is regarded as a reliable penalty taker and served as AIK’s first-choice option from the spot. He has stated in interviews that he has not missed a penalty in competitive senior matches, claiming a streak of 25 consecutive conversions during his time in Sweden.^[1]
