Club career


Jääskeläinen turned professional with Bolton Wanderers at the start of the 2015–16 season.[2] After being released by the club, he had a trial in August 2017 at VPS[5] in his father's native Finland. On 24 July he signed for Leek Town[6][7] however a month later, he signed for Crewe Alexandra.[8]

During the 2017–18 season, Jääskeläinen went on loan to Loughborough Dynamo,[9][10] Nantwich Town,[11][12] Buxton,[13] and Chester.[14]

Jääskeläinen signed a new three-year contract with Crewe in May 2018,[15] but spent much of the 2018–19 season on loan again at Nantwich Town,[16][17][18] though a loan extension to the end of the season was cut short when Crewe recalled him on 20 March 2019.[19]

He made his first team debut for Crewe Alexandra on 19 April 2019, keeping a clean sheet, in a 2–0 win over Yeovil Town at Gresty Road.[20]

In June 2020, Jääskeläinen signed a new two-year deal with Crewe.[21] Following relegation to League Two, Jääskeläinen was released by the club at the end of the 2021–22 season.[22] Both the club and Jääskeläinen felt that he needed a "fresh challenge".[23]

He signed for AFC Wimbledon in September 2022, on a one-month contract, as cover for the injured Nathan Broome.[24] He made his debut for the club in the EFL Trophy victory over Crawley Town and then extended his contract until January 2023.[25]


International career


Jääskeläinen represented Finland at under-19 youth level.[4]

In August 2019, he was called up by Finland Under-21s for two UEFA Euro U21 qualifiers.[26] He was called up again by the under-21s in November 2019.[27]


Personal life


He is the son of former Bolton Wanderers and Finland goalkeeper Jussi Jääskeläinen.[28] His younger brother Emil signed his first professional contract with Blackpool in 2019.[29]
