Daniel Örlund (born 23 June 1980 in Stockholm) is a Swedish football player, currently the first choice goalkeeper at AIK. He began his career at senior level at local club Spårvägens FF before signing for AIK in 2002.
Örlund made his debut in AIK in a Svenska cupen game against Carlstad United BK in 2003. AIK won with 4-1, and Örlund kept the goalkeeper position in the next cup round against BK Häcken as well. During the 2004 season he was on loan to FC Café Opera United where he made an impressive impact (25 games with seven clean sheets). At his return to AIK in 2005, while playing in Superettan, Örlund played all but one game and made himself a streak, when he didn't let in a goal for 567 minutes. Since his return to AIK he has been the undisputed first choice.
A self-confessed AIK fan since childhood, Örlund is keen to represent his first club Enskede IK again before hanging up his boots. He is, however, just beginning to establish himself as a top-class goalkeeper and there is a lot to be expected from the native Stockholmer.
