Julius Lindberg (born 4 January 1999) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a midfielder for BK Häcken in Allsvenskan.
After residing in Thailand for one year before starting school, his family moved to Kungälv Municipality[1] where he played youth football for Ytterby IS. He was a part of IFK Göteborg's academy from 2010 to 2014, when he transferred back to Kungälv and IK Kongahälla.[2]
He started his senior career in Ytterby IS on the fifth and sixth tier, Division 3 and 4, before moving to Qviding FIF in Division 3.[3] While Ytterby had been relegated to Division 5 in his last season there, Lindberg experienced two straight promotions with Qviding, managed by Robert Vilahamn.[2] Not least, Qviding was helped by Lindberg scoring 13 goals in 14 matches in 2018, followed by 17 goals in 25 matches in 2019.[4]
In 2020 he was picked up by GAIS.[5] He played as both forward and midfielder.[6] As GAIS won promotion to the 2024 Allsvenskan, Lindberg moved across the city to one of GAIS' rivals, reigning champions BK Häcken.[2][7]
In one of the Gothenburg derbies, Lindberg was booed by GAIS supporters.[8] He made his first Allsvenskan debut on 31 March 2024 and scored his first Allsvenskan goal the next week;[9] he was later repurposed as a right back.[10]
