Club career

Lakjuni started his career with KÍ Klaksvík in 1995.[1][2] After playing in the club's reserve teams, he made his first team debut against GÍ.[3] He also managed to score his first goal for KÍ, during the campaign, to help his team win 4–3 against B68.[4] Lakjuni was a member of the KÍ squad that won the double in 1999.[5] Following the conclusion of the 2000 season with KÍ, Lakjuni transferred to B36 Tórshavn.[6] In the 2001 Faroese Cup final Lakjuni faced his former team, and created the opportunity that helped his teammate Jens Kristian Hansen score the match's only goal.[7] At the end of the season Lakjuni celebrated his second double, as B36 won the championship.[8] After one season with B36, Lakjuni returned to KÍ Klaksvík.[9] His second spell at KÍ was short; after one season he signed for a second time with B36.[10] He was a starter in the 2003 Faroese Cup final, helping his team win the trophy after a 3–1 victory against GÍ Gøta.[11] By winning the 2003 championship he achieved yet another double.[12]

On 29 December 2003 he signed for HB Tórshavn.[12] Lakjuni was a starter in the 2004 cup final for HB, helping his team to win NSÍ Runavík 1–3 in Tórsvøllur.[13] After winning the 2004 league title with HB, Lakjuni returned to KÍ in October 2004.[14] He left KÍ for NSÍ Runavík in February 2010.[15] He made his debut for the club in a cup match against EB/Streymur.[16] In January 2012 he returned to KÍ to have his fourth spell with the club.[17] In October 2014, Lakjuni was set to make his 400th appearance in the Faroe Islands Premier League; at the time he was the second only to Egil á Bø in appearances among active players.[18] In April 2015, by making his 408th appearance in the Faroe Islands Premier League, he surpassed Egil á Bø and set the record for most league appearances.[19] In May 2015, he scored his 100th goal in the top tier of Faroese football, helping his team get past FC Suðuroy 2–1 at home.[20]
