Leeds Career

After some notable performances in his debut season giant second rower Erik Lund became a crowd favourite and a regular in the first team squad.  The former Rotherham player launched his Leeds Carnegie career against Harlequins on the second game of the season and he retained his place in the side for the majority of the season.  He scored three tries over the season, against Newcastle, Saracens and Leicester Tigers.

Rugby Career

Erik played for Winnington Park before joining National One side Manchester in the 2002-03 season, he made his debut for the side in a 24-15 defeat against Plymouth Albion and made just one further start for the side that year. The following season he joined the newly promoted Sedgley Park. In that first season he was an ever present in the last 8 games of the season, after making his debut against Esher. In the 2004-05 season, he played alongside fellow Leeds Carnegie player Richard Welding, as well as former Leeds favourites James Ponton and Tim Fourie. He missed just one game for the club all season. Over the next two seasons Erik was almost an ever present for Sedgley Park in the second row, helping them retain their place in National One. Erik left the Tigers at the end of the season to join Rotherham where he was one of their most consistent performers during the 2006-07 campaign, making 24 appearances and scoring four tries. He proved to be a fundamental player in the Titans season when they finished just behind the Champions Leeds.
