Taijo Teniste (born 31 January 1988) is an Estonian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Norwegian Eliteserien club Sogndal and the Estonia national football team.

Club career

Levadia

Teniste started playing football with hometown club SK10 Premium before moving to Tallinn-based Meistriliiga club Levadia in 2005, alongside teammates Eino Puri and Sander Puri.[1] In January 2011, he was on trial at Gambrinus liga club Dynamo České Budějovice.[2] On 4 July 2011, Teniste joined English League Two side Swindon Town at their pre-season training camp in Italy.[3] Although the clubs had agreed on transfer fee, the player was not offered a contract as manager Paolo Di Canio felt that Teniste was not a natural left-back.[4][5]

Sogndal

On 1 September 2011, Teniste joined Norwegian Eliteserien club Sogndal on a loan until the end of the 2011 season with an option to buy.[1] The move was made permanent in December, when he signed a two-year contract with the club.[6][7]

International career

Teniste made his debut for Estonia in a friendly match against Saudi Arabia on 9 November 2007, when he came on as a substitute in the second half.[8][9]
