He made his Veikkausliiga debut at 25 October 2014 against FF Jaro, coming on as a substitute for Kalle Kauppi after 70 minutes in a 0-1 home defeat.[2] Kairinen became the second-youngest player in Inter Turku’s history to play for the club, since he made his debut at the age of 15.[3]

Style of play

Left-footed and very confident on the ball, Kairinen reads the game well and has a great range of passing and shooting from distance. Local journalists consider him the best young talent in Finnish football and expect him to develop into a deep-lying midfielder in the Andrea Pirlo mould.[3]
— Michael Yokhin of The Guardian on Kairinen, October 2015
Kairinen's ability to control midfield is remarkable. His understanding and vision are already impressive, and he seldom seems to be in a hurry, picking his passes with elegance and precision. Deployed largely in an attacking role, he has shown an aptitude for defensive work too.[7]
— Mikael Erävuori of UEFA.com, October 2015
