About the player
Miska Ylitolva started kicking a ball around FC Santa Claus in Rovaniemi at around ten years old, then moved into the Rovaniemen Palloseura youth system. In January 2022 HJK signed him as a free agent, and he made his Veikkausliiga debut against Honka on 2 April that year — only for an injury to sideline him not long after.
His path back into HJK's side took time: a spell with the reserve team Klubi 04, then a loan to KTP in the second half of 2023. He returned to the first team in 2024, and by then HJK were champions of Finland, with Ylitolva part of the squad both times. He added a Finnish Cup winner's medal in 2025.
The clearest mark he has left on a scoresheet came in the Finnish Cup on 8 January 2025, when he scored twice against Haka in a 3-1 win — his first goals for HJK.
On the international stage, Ylitolva was capped by Finland's senior side on 26 March 2022 against Iceland at 17 years old, becoming the second-youngest player to appear for the national team.
