Eventually, Nilsson opted to move abroad when he signed for Eredivisie side Utrecht, signing a four-year contract on 12 July 2011. The transfer fee was reportedly between 10 and 15 million Krone.

Nilsson made his Utrecht debut in the opening game of the season, where he made his first start and played a whole game, in a 0–0 draw against VVV-Venlo, keeping a clean sheet. However, in a 2–1 loss against Vitesse on 20 August 2011, Nilsson received a straight red card in the 86th minute. After serving a two match suspension, he returned to the starting line–up, in a 2–2 draw against Heracles Almelo on 18 September 2011. 

Once again, Nilsson was sent-off for the second time this season on 15 October 2011, in a 1–0 loss against PSV Eindhoven. In a match against Feyenoord on 11 December 2011, Nilsson suffered a knee injury during the match and was substituted early in the match. He had successful surgery in February 2012 but was out of action for the rest of the season. Despite making 16 appearances in all competitions, Nilsson was named as the league's worst signing of the season by Voetbal International.
