Club career

The club then suffered relegation to Division 2, the fourth tier of Swedish football, but bounced back to compete in the 2022 Ettan.[4][3] Expressen named Stroud as Oddevold's talent to watch out for in 2022.[5] Aftonbladet included him on their top 30 list in the division, regardless of age.[6]
Following a good season, Stroud had several offers from clubs higher in the division system.[7] He chose Mjällby AIF and signed a contract until 2025.[8] He made his Allsvenskan debut in April 2023 against Degerfors.[3]
