Raised in Riseberga, Malmö, Hägg-Johansson started playing football as a young junior in Husie IF.[1] At the age of 15, Lucas then joined FC Rosengård. In Rosengård, he trained with the first team under manager Mats Larsson. During 2011, Hägg-Johansson also sat on the bench in 11 games for Rosengård in the Swedish Division 1.[2] At this time Hägg-Johansson had offers from among others Lunds BK and Malmö FF.[1]
However, In 2012, 17-year old Hägg-Johansson decided to join Kalmar FF.[1] Here he had the opportunity to be the third goalkeeper behind Petter Wastå and Etrit Berisha. Yet to have get his debut for Kalmar, Hägg-Johansson spent the 2014 and 2015 seasons on loan at Oskarshamns AIK as part of a partnership between the two clubs, where he played in Division 1.[3][4]
Returning to Kalmar FF, Hägg-Johansson made his debut in the Swedish top-tier, Allsvenskan, on 14 August 2016 when he was given a chance in the 1-1 match against Malmö FF.[5][6] From the 2017 season and onwards, Hägg-Johansson established himself as the starting goalkeeper, playing 25 league games throughout the season and 30 in the 2018 season. After two slightly less good seasons - when he was even dropped from the team for a few matches in the 2021 season - it was confirmed on 4 January 2022, that Hägg-Johansson had left the club.[7]
On 12 January 2022, Hägg-Johansson joined Danish Superliga club Vejle Boldklub.[8]
