Career
He started his youth career in Sykkylven, moving to Aalesund in 2022.[1] He eventually made his first-team debut in April 2024.[2] Lonebu also performed well for Aalesund's B team in the Third Division. 17 goals in 26 matches in 2024 was followed by 14 goals in 9 matches in 2025.[3] He signed a better contract with Aalesund at the end of 2024.[4]
Lonebu experienced a breakthrough in the latter half of 2025.[5] Following a fourth place in the 2025 1. divisjon, Aalesund reached the promotion playoffs. Their second playoff match pitted Aalesund against 3rd-placed Kongsvinger, which Aalesund won 5–4 away. Lonebu scored Aalesund's fourth goal.[6] Reaching the playoff final, then, Aalesund faced Bryne away. Two goals in the 4–0 victory were following Lonebu involvements, and he was declared man of the match.[7] By early December 2025, he had therefore scored six goals in the last eight matches. He was now being "considered" by bigger clubs including Molde.[8]
