Career

Örebro SK

Ring started his football career at a young age with local side Adolfsbergs IK.[2] He played for the first team in Division 4, before signing a two-year youth contract with Örebro SK before the 2013 season.[3] The following summer, Ring went on loan to BK Forward for the remainder of the contract and played 33 league games with the side in Division 1.[4][5] In January 2015, Örebro offered Ring a senior contract, which he accepted.[6]

During the 2015 Allsvenskan season he was an unused substitute for the team, being the second choice behind Logi Valgarðsson in the left-back position. He however made his senior debut in Svenska Cupen, when he started in the 3–0 win against BKV Norrtälje.[7] During the pre-season for the following season, Valgarðsson picked up an injury, which opened a spot for Ring in the starting eleven.[8] He made his Allsvenskan debut in the premier game of 2016 Allsvenskan against Djurgårdens IF.[9] On 23 July 2016, he scored his first Allsvenskan goal in a 3–1 win against Falkenbergs FF.[10]

Grimsby Town

On 28 December 2018, Ring signed for EFL League Two club Grimsby Town.[11]

Style of play

Ring is a technical left-footed offensive player, who is originally a central midfielder but was ordered to play as wing back for Adolfsberg, a position he has played ever since.[2][8]

Personal life

Sebastian grew up in a sports-oriented family in Örebro, Närke. His older brother Jonathan is a footballer as well, currently playing for Djurgårdens IF.[12]

He also played floorball and ice hockey in his youth, until he focused full-time on football.[8]
