Club career
FC Nordsjælland
Lund signed a professional contract with FCN on 6 July 2016, and was promoted to the first team squad at the age of 19.[2]
He got his FC Nordsjælland debut on 14 August 2016. Lund played the whole match in a 1–3 defeat against OB in the Danish Superliga.[3] Lund's contract expired in the summer 2017, and he didn't get it extended due to the limited playing time. He began training with Viborg FF and Vendsyssel FF after he left FC Nordsjælland.[4]
Vendsyssel FF
On 13 July 2017 it was announced, that Lund had signed with Vendsyssel FF.[5]
Lund was loaned out to Thisted FC in the Danish 1st Division on 14 January 2019 due to the lack of playing time at Vendsyssel FF.[6] Lund played the first three games of 2019, before he was diagnosed with mononucleosis. He said to the medias, that he would be out for an unknown period of time.[7]
On transfer deadline day, 2 September 2019, Lund was loaned out again, this time to Danish 2nd Division club B.93 for the 2019/20 season.[8] Vendsyssel then confirmed on 12 August 2020, that Lund had left the club.[9]
B.93
After his loan spell at the club, it was confirmed on 28 August 2020, that he would continue at the club on a permanent basis.[10]
