Santeri Haarala (born 17 December 1999) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Allsvenskan club Djurgården.[1]
Career
[edit]On 7 August 2019, Haarala left Ilves to join a fellow Veikkausliiga club Rovaniemen Palloseura (RoPS) on a contract for the rest of 2019.[2] He suffered a groin injury and managed to play only one game with the first team before a surgery. His contract was not extended and left the club at the end of the year.[3] Eventually, his recovery from the injury lasted almost eight months.[4]
After a short spell with the reserve team of his former club Ilves in the third-tier Kakkonen, Haarala joined Veikkausliiga club TPS in August 2020 on a deal for the rest of the season.[5]
After a two-year stint with Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS) in Veikkausliiga, Haarala returned to his former club Ilves for the 2023 season, and on 29 February 2024 he signed a new three-year deal with the club.[6]
On 22 August 2024, Haarala joined Allsvenskan club Djurgården on a three-and-a-half-year contract,[7] for a significant undisclosed fee.[8][9][10] Three days later, in his Allsvenskan debut for Djurgården, Haarala provided an assist to a winning goal, in a 1–0 away win over Sirius.[11] He scored his first goal for the club on 19 September, in a 2–1 win over BK Häcken.[12]
International career
[edit]Haarala was never part of Finland youth national teams at any age level.[4]
On 2 September 2024, he received his first call-up to the Finland senior national team by the head coach Markku Kanerva, as a replacement to Daniel Håkans, for the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League B matches against Greece and England.[13]
Personal life
[edit]Haarala meditates frequently in his everyday life.[14]
