Career

After spending a year at Vejle Idrætsefterskole from 2013 to 2014 and playing in the Vejle Boldklub youth academy in the meantime, Lyngø moved to AaB in 2014, where he signed a two-and-a-half year youth contract.

In mid-June 2017, it was announced that Lyngø was promoted to AaB's first team squad on a permanent basis together with U19 teammate Marco Ramkilde.[2] He made his professional debut for AaB on 4 May 2018, when was in the starting lineup and played the entire match in a 2–1 away loss to AC Horsens.[3]

On 3 August 2018, he was sent on a six-month loan to third-tier Danish 2nd Division club Jammerbugt FC until 31 December 2018, when his contract with AaB also expired.[4] He made 16 appearances during the autumn of 2018 and scored two goals for Jammerbugt.[5]

At the beginning of July 2019, Lyngø returned to Jammerbugt after six months in the United States.[6][7] Upon his return, he signed a one-year contract.[8] Lyngø left Jammerbugt at the end of 2021.[9]
