Jesse Pekka Joronen (born 21 March 1993) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Serie A club Venezia and the Finland national team. He made his senior debut for Finland in 2013.[2]
Club career
Fulham
Born and raised in the small town of Simpele, Rautjärvi located near the Russian border, Joronen joined Fulham Academy in 2009.[3] In June 2010, Joronen signed his first professional contract with the club, which would keep him there until 2013.[4]
In May 2012, Joronen signed a two-year extension with Fulham that would keep him with the club until 2014.[5] Five months later, on 25 October 2012, Joronen joined Maidenhead United on loan[6] and in February 2013, Joronen was loaned to Cambridge United.[7] Only a day later, Joronen returned to Fulham after he refused to be named as a substitute for Cambridge.[8]
After a loan spell at Maidenhead United, Joronen then moved back to Finland, where he joined Veikkausliiga side FC Lahti on loan until August.[9] After making eighteen appearances for the club, where he established himself as a first-choice goalkeeper, Joronen returned to his parent club in early August.[10]
At the start of the 2014–15 season, Joronen signed a two-year contract with the club that kept him until 2016.[11] He was then given his debut as the starting goalkeeper in Fulham's opening game in the Championship against Ipswich Town on 9 August 2014.[12] After making three more appearances for the club, Joronen soon lost his first-team place to Marcus Bettinelli and new goalkeeper signing Gábor Király.[13]
Joronen joined Accrington Stanley on loan for one month on 17 October 2014.[14] He made his Accrington Stanley debut the next day, starting in goal, in a 2–1 loss against Stevenage.[15] However, after making three more appearances at Accrington Stanley whilst on loan, he returned early after dislocating his kneecap during a League Two match against Morecambe.[16] Then, it was announced that Joronen would be out for three to four months.[17]
On 27 August 2015, Joronen signed for Stevenage on loan until January 2016.[18] He made his Stevenage debut two days later, in a 1–1 draw against Dagenham & Redbridge.[19] Joronen scored with a long-range clearance in a match against Wycombe Wanderers on 17 October 2015.[20] He then kept his first clean sheet in a 3–0 win over Gillingham in the first round of the FA Cup.[21] However, after making eleven appearances for the side, Joronen suffered an injury during the match against Gillingham and subsequently returned to his parent club.[22] After returning to his parent club, Joronen signed a contract extension, keeping him there until 2017.[23]
In the 2016–17 season, Joronen was featured three times in the EFL Cup, being the first-choice goalkeeper ahead of Bettinelli.[24][25] At the end of the 2016–17 season, he was offered a new contract by the club.[26]
AC Horsens
However, instead of signing a new contract, Joronen left Fulham to join Danish side AC Horsens, signing a two-year contract on 10 July 2017.[27]
Joronen made his AC Horsens debut in the opening game of the season, in a 2–1 win over AGF Aarhus.[28] On 4 August 2017, he kept his first clean sheet for the side, in a 1–0 win over Silkeborg, a win that saw the club go to the top of the table.[29]
FC Copenhagen
On 15 December 2017, it was announced that Joronen would join Copenhagen in the summer of 2018 for a fee of €875,000. He signed a five-year contract.[30] He made his competitive debut on 23 July 2018, playing the entirety of a 3–0 Superliga victory over Hobro.[31]
Brescia Calcio
On 11 July 2019, Joronen joined Brescia in Serie A on a permanent deal, after one season with Copenhagen,[32] for a transfer fee of €5 million.[33]
Venezia FC
On 30 June 2022, Joronen signed a three-year contract with an option for the fourth year with Venezia in Serie B, for a €1.25 million fee.[34][35] Joronen suffered a muscle injury in the early October 2023, and was ruled out for around two months. He returned to starting line-up in the end of December 2023.[36] On 2 June 2024, Joronen helped Venezia to win promotion to Serie A via promotion play-offs, after keeping two clean sheets in two man-of-the-match performances against Cremonese.[37][38][39][40]
International career
Having represented Finland at U17, U19[41] and U21 level,[42] Joronen was called up to the senior squad and made his debut for Finland in the 2013 King's Cup against Thailand on 24 January 2013.[2]
Joronen was called up for the UEFA Euro 2020 pre-tournament friendly match against Sweden on 29 May 2021.[43]
