Club career
Lykkegaard was born and raised in Farum to a Danish father and Chilean mother and is a product of FC Nordsjælland, where he started when he was four years old.[2][3] In his first season as U17 player, Lykkegaard was injured with an anterior cruciate ligament injury and was out for about a year and a half.
After 14 years at the club, Lykkegaard was promoted to the first-team squad, where he made his professional debut in the Danish Superliga against FC Copenhagen on 13 December 2020.[2] Lykkegaard started on the bench, before replacing Daniel Svensson in the 78th minute.[4] Lykkegaard also played in the following league game against FC Midtjylland. Those two games were his only appearances in the 2020–21 season. On 21 July 2022, Lykkegaard signed a new deal with Nordsjælland until June 2025 and was loaned out to newly promoted Danish 1st Division club Hillerød.[5] He returned to Nordsjælland in November 2022, having made four appearances for Hillerød.[6]
By mutual agreement, Lykkegaard and Nordsjælland decided in early August 2023 to end the collaboration and he left the club.[7]
HIK
On 4 August 2023, Lykkegaard joined Danish 2nd Division club HIK.[8]
