Simon Skrabb (born 19 January 1995) is a Finnish footballer who plays for Swedish Allsvenskan side Kalmar FF.
Club career
Jaro
On 12 May 2011, he became the youngest player to score a goal in a Veikkausliiga match.[2]
Skrabb is also noted for having scored a scorpion kick in an away match against Gefle IF while playing for Åtvidaberg in the 2015 Allsvenskan.[3] In spite of this, Skrabb's team were relegated from the Swedish top flight at the end of the season after finishing bottom of the table.
IFK Norrköping
On 9 December 2016 it was reported that Skrabb had signed a four-year contract with IFK Norrköping.[4]
Brescia
On 13 January 2020, he signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Italian club Brescia,[5] for a transfer fee of €2.8 million plus bonuses.[6] His time with Brescia was plagued by multiple consecutive injuries. The team was also coached by six different head coaches during 1,5 years due to turmoil in the club, and eventually his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 22 October 2021.[7] Skrabb played only 21 games with Brescia.
Kalmar
On 26 January 2022, Skrabb signed with Kalmar FF in Sweden for the 2022 season.[8] During the 2023 season, Skrabb occasionally wore the captain's armband with Kalmar.
International career
He made his debut for the Finland national team on 10 January 2016 in a friendly match in Abu Dhabi against Sweden when he entered the game as a substitute for Roope Riski.[9]
