About the player
Ojala made his Veikkausliiga debut for AC Oulu on 12 August 2010 at the age of 15, becoming the youngest player in the history of the Finnish top flight. He stayed at the club through 2015, with a loan spell at Hamburger SV II worked in along the way — 14 appearances and a goal in the Regionalliga Nord during the 2013–14 season, on a deal that included an option to buy which was never taken up.
After leaving Oulu he went on a free transfer to Kemi City, then moved to Ilves in 2018. A longer stint at Inter Turku followed from November 2019, initially on a contract to the end of 2021 and later extended to 2023. He reached both the Finnish Cup final and the Finnish League Cup final with the club in 2022.
Ojala spent 2024 with IFK Mariehamn on a one-year deal before returning to AC Oulu, the club where it all began, in November 2024 on a two-year contract. He has represented Finland at every youth level from U17 to U21.
