Club career

GOG Svendborg TGI

In 2006 Landin signed with GOG Svendborg TGI. He stayed with the club until the start of 2010, where the club faced financial distress and players were allowed to negotiate with other clubs.

Bjerringbro-Silkeborg

Landin signed with Bjerringbro-Silkeborg a contract starting from the 2010 season, but due to GOG Svendborg financial distress, Landin joined BSV in the beginning of 2010. He quickly became first choice and remained with club until 2012.

Rhein-Neckar Löwen

In 2020, Kiel took a double, as the team won the 2019–20 Handball-Bundesliga and 2019–20 EHF Champions League, with Landin being the starting goalkeeper.
