Lauri Laine

Lauri Laine's route to Inter Turku has taken him through a bankruptcy. He began at FC Honka in Espoo, coming through the youth ranks before making his senior Veikkausliiga debut in 2022, while also turning out for the reserve side, FC Honka Akatemia, in the Kakkonen. When Honka went bankrupt in late 2023, Laine moved on a free transfer to SJK, a switch that took effect for the 2024 season. Over the following two years he split his time between SJK's first team in the Veikkausliiga and their reserves, SJK Akatemia, in the Ykkösliiga.

His next move took him abroad, to Baník Ostrava's B team in the Czech National Football League, before a loan brought him to Inter Turku on 5 August 2026, where he plays as a right winger.

Laine has been a regular at youth level for Finland, working his way up through the age groups: two caps for the U15s in 2019, nine caps and a goal for the U17s across 2021 and 2022, six caps and two goals for the U18s in 2022 and 2023, and five caps for the U19s in 2023. He has since been called up to the Finland U21 squad for qualification for the 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
