Van Lingen was born on 21 October 1999 in Twijzelerheide, Friesland in The Netherlands. He started playing football at the age of seven for the local football club VVT.
At the age of eight, he was scouted by SC Heerenveen, and a year later he joined FC Groningen.

In 2017, at the age of 17, Van Lingen made his debut for the reserve team of Dutch side FC Groningen in the Derde Divisie. He played in total 12 matches in the Derde Divisie, while also featuring for the Under-19 team.
SC Cambuur

VV Katwijk
In 2020, he signed for VV Katwijk, which played in the Tweede Divisie. However, after five matches, the season was once again suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the following season, he became the champion of the Tweede Divisie 2021/22 with VV Katwijk. Since the Netherlands, as one of the few countries in the world, does not have a promotion system between the Tweede Divisie and the Eerste Divisie, Van Lingen decided to terminate his contract after the championship to make the move abroad.
Harkemase Boys
However, the sought-after foreign professional club did not come through, so he decided to keep in shape and signed for Derde Divisie club Harkemase Boys. [1] He played only three matches there before moving to Luxembourgish side Victoria Rosport.
Victoria Rosport
On January 31, 2023, Van Lingen signed with Victoria Rosport, marking his first club abroad.

Additionally, they reached the semi-finals of the Coupe de Luxembourg, where they were eliminated by the eventual cup winners, FC Differdange 03. His time at Victoria Rosport was limited to half a season, as he was sold to Luxembourg's top club, F91 Dudelange.
He made the transfer to Luxembourg's top club F91 Dudelange on June 18, 2023, where he signed a two-year contract. [3] Van Lingen made his debut on July 12, 2023, in the UEFA Conference League qualifying round. In his debut match against Irish club St. Patrick's Athletic FC, he scored the opening goal in the 24th minute, which turned out to be the first goal of the 2023/24 UEFA Conference League season. [4]
In the return leg, he scored a hat-trick in the 2-3 victory, making him the competition's top scorer at that moment with four goals in two matches. [5]
F91 Dudelange was eliminated in the next round by Maltese club Gzira United. In the 2024/25 season, Van Lingen again participated in the UEFA Conference League, playing two matches against AC Escaldes from Andorra and Swedish side BK Häcken.
In total, he played 36 matches, scoring eleven goals and providing twelve assists, before leaving the top Luxembourg club. [6]
Suphanburi FC

On January 3, 2025, he was officially presented by the club, [7] and two days later, he made his official debut in a match against Sisaket United. In this game, he scored four goals in the 6-1 victory, which immediately earned him cult status. [8]
He finished the season at Suphanburi FC with 14 goals and 3 assists in 12 matches in Thai League 2. His outstanding performance earned him the Player of the Season [9] award and a transfer to Thai League 1 side Chonburi FC. [10]
Chonburi FC

Within two minutes, he provided an assist and later scored the equalizer, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Following this event, he earned the nickname "Electric Man."
