He signed his first professional contract with Midtjylland on May 14, 2017.[1] He made his professional debut with them in a 2–1 Danish Cup win over Odense Boldklub on February 11, 2021.[2] On April 21, he transferred to Esbjerg, signing a three-year contract.[3] On August 11, before making an appearance with Esbjerg, he transferred to the Swedish club Häcken until 2024.[4]

In August 2023, Lund officially filed a one-time switch to play for the United States national team,[11] and subsequently received his first call-up to the United States senior national team by head coach Gregg Berhalter, for two friendly matches against Uzbekistan and Oman.[11][12]
