Club career
In 2014, following impressive performances in his native Sweden with IFK Östersund, Lundbäck was invited to trial with clubs across Europe.[2] He had already played for Östersunds FK at youth level, but had rejected their contract offer in favour of IFK.[2] However, in November of the same year, he decided to make the switch to Östersunds FK.[3] The following season, he returned to IFK on loan, playing three times in the Division 2.[4] He would be loaned out twice more by Östersunds FK, both to Team TG, before making the switch permanent for the 2018 season.[5]
He returned to IFK in February 2019, signing a one-year deal with the club.[6] He appears to have taken a break from football, before returning again to IFK in January 2022, this time signing a deal as a sporting director, while also being registered for the first team.[7] He left his role as sporting director in October 2022, but continued to play for the first team.[8]
Personal life
His brother, Jonathan, is also a footballer, and the pair played together at numerous times during their careers.[10]
