Career

Eklund grew up in Falun where he started out playing for hometown club Falu BS which later turned into Falu FK.

In 2008, he was signed by IK Brage to play as a defensive midfielder but was soon moved back into his natural forward position. There he had an extremely successful year in 2009 where he scored 21 goals in 23 games and helped his team win promotion to second tier Superettan. The following year he also became a top ten goalscorer of the 2010 Superettan.^[2][3]
