Years in Division 1

In 2012, Strand joined Väsby United in Division 1, Sweden's third tier. He made 25 league appearances for the side, scoring four goals, in his first season at senior level.

In 2013, Strand signed a one-year contract with IK Frej in the same league, making 25 appearances. In 2014, he moved to Huddinge, a local rival of his youth club Stuvsta IF, playing 47 games across two seasons in Division 1.

He made 12 appearances for the club in Division 1 throughout the first half of the season, before leaving in July.
