In total, Ludwigson would go on to score 23 goals in 60 games for Sävedalen across three seasons. He helped the club to win a promotion to Division 2, Sweden's fourth tier, before leaving in 2017.[1]

In his first season at the club, Ludwigson scored 11 goals and featured in all 30 league games. In August 2018, he extended his contract until 2020.[4] Örgryte finished 4th in the 2018 Superettan table, and at the end of season Ludwigson was voted as "player of the year" by the fans of the club.[5]

Ludwigson retained his fine form in 2019, and won the prize of Superettan "player of the month" in July.[6]
