Philip Lund’s soccer life started in Denmark around the age of three. “According to my parents, the first time the football hit my face, I cried and ran away,” Lund says. “I tried again when I was four and I’ve played ever since.”
At age 18 he signed with his hometown club, Vejle BK. After stints with Danish clubs Kolding FC and FC Fyn, Lund was noticed by Seattle Sounders assistant coach Ezra Hendrickson.
Lund’s first time in the Seattle-Tacoma area was not as long as he would have liked. Struggling with injury and little time on the field, he moved on after being released by the Sounders.
