Career

edit

Stroud started his youth career in IK Oddevold, joining the senior team in 2019. The club then suffered relegation to Division 2, the fourth tier of Swedish football, but bounced back to compete in the 2022 Ettan.[1][2] Expressen named Stroud as Oddevold's talent to watch out for in 2022.[3] Aftonbladet included him on their top 30 list in the division, regardless of age.[4]

Following a good season, Stroud had several offers from clubs higher in the division system.[5] He chose Mjällby AIF and signed a contract until 2025.[6] He made his Allsvenskan debut in April 2023 against Degerfors.[2]
