About the player
Santeri Haarala's route to HJK Helsinki has gone through six clubs and two countries.
Over two seasons in Kuopio, Haarala won the Finnish Cup twice, in 2021 and 2022.
In August 2024 he moved to Djurgården in Sweden for an undisclosed fee, spending part of 2025 on loan at Degerfors before returning to Djurgården. In July 2026 he came back to Finland to sign with HJK Helsinki on a contract running through the end of 2028.
Haarala has yet to earn a senior cap for Finland, having never featured for the country's youth sides either. His only involvement with the national team came in September 2024, when Markku Kanerva called him up as cover for the injured Daniel Håkans ahead of Nations League fixtures against Greece and England.
