Career

[edit]

Born in Stockholm,[2] Lindgren spent his early career with Sollentuna and FC Djursholm; after playing for Karlberg in 2021,[3][4] he returned to Sollentuna in 2022.[5] At the end of that season it was announced that he would sign for Degerfors.[5] He scored 3 goals for the club in the 2023 Allsvenskan, before scoring more goals in the 2024 Superettan,[6] leading to speculation that he would sign for AIK.[7]

In September 2024 he signed for English club Peterborough United, effective from 1 January 2025.[8][9][10][11][12]
