About the player
Roope Riski's career has run on second chances abroad. He came through TPS in Turku before Italian side Cesena paid around €750,000 for him in 2011, a move that delivered mostly loans instead — back to TPS, then to Norway's Hønefoss, then back to TPS again.
A loan spell at Paderborn in Germany in 2017 followed. That year he signed for Austrian club St. Pölten, in a deal reported to have brought SJK a significant transfer fee. A loan to Greek side Chania followed in 2018–19.
Riski returned to Finland in 2020, signing for reigning champions HJK in Helsinki. There he won four Finnish league titles, in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and three Finnish Cups, in 2020, 2022 and 2023.
His international career has been brief.
Riski moved to Ilves in 2024, where he now wears the number 10 shirt.
