He had a number of impressive displays in the reserve squad most notably against Portsmouth where Lund scored three times and created two.[3] His first appearance on the Stoke bench came in a Premier League game against Burnley in February 2010.[4]

Lund joined Jamie Pitman at Hereford United on a months loan on 23 November 2010 where he will make his professional debut.[5][6] He made his debut in a 2–2 draw with Lincoln City in the FA Cup.[7] He made his league debut in a 1–0 loss to Bradford City on 11 December 2010.[8]

In July 2011 Lund joined League One side Oldham Athletic on loan until 21 November 2011.[9] Lund made his debut for the club with an assist in a 1–0 pre season victory against Fleetwood Town[10] and his competitive club debut on the first day of the 2011-12 season, starting the Football League match against Sheffield United.[11] He was recalled by Stoke from his loan at Oldham on 9 September as Lund was not getting played in the first team.[12]
