Playing career
Selected 73rd overall in the 2009 NHL Draft by the New Jersey Devils, Urbom has experience with several teams. His early career included time with Djurgårdens IF in the Elitserien and the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL. Urbom netted his debut NHL goal on April 10, 2011, facing goaltender Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins.
At the beginning of the 2013–14 campaign, he was claimed off waivers by the Washington Capitals, appearing in 20 games before being reclaimed by the Devils through waivers in January 2014.
After spending four seasons in North America, Urbom departed as a restricted free agent and inked a two-year deal with Severstal Cherepovets of the Russian KHL in June 2014. Following a single season there, he returned to Sweden to compete in the SHL with Skellefteå AIK, later rejoining Djurgårdens IF on loan during his second year under contract.
Urbom spent three seasons with Djurgårdens IF before signing a one-year contract with German DEL club Düsseldorfer EG in May 2019. During the 2020–21 season, as a free agent, he was acquired by Austrian side EC Red Bull Salzburg competing in the ICEHL in February 2021.
