Early career

Fröling made his first senior team practice with Division 5 team Boo FF at only 13 years old.[2] After having played in 11 games for Boo FF during the 2016 spring season in Division 5, Fröling left Boo FF to join Åtvidabergs FF.[2] He made his Åtvidaberg debut in 2017, and played in 10 games as Åtvidaberg was relegated from Superettan at the end of the season.[2]

Kalmar FF

Fröling was signed by Kalmar FF ahead of the 2018 Allsvenskan season.[3] He scored his first Allsvenskan goal in a 1-0 win at home against IK Sirius on 14 May 2018.[4]

Fröling has represented the Sweden U19 and U21 teams.[5] Fröling is eligible for both the United States and Sweden national teams, growing up in Sweden with Swedish parents, but being born in Dallas, Texas, USA and thus holding an American passport.[6]
