Jere Uronen (born 13 July 1994) is a Finnish football player currently playing for Swedish Allsvenskan side Helsingborgs IF. He usually plays as left back.

Club career

Raised in TPS's youth ranks, Uronen made his first team debut on 12 June 2011, at the age of 16, in a match against FC Haka. On 31 July, he scored his first goal for TPS, in an eventual 2–4 home defeat against FC Honka. He made in total of 18 appearances – one goal – during his debut season.

In the early days of 2012 it was announced that Uronen had signed a contract with Helsingborg, in the Swedish top flight.[1] He played his first game for Helsingborg in an exhibition game against Dinamo Zagreb on 1 February, playing the full 90 minutes.

He made his league debut on 2 April, coming on as a substitute, in a 1–0 away defeat against Norrköping.

International career

He was chosen to represent Finland U21 in a qualifying match against Slovenia on 8 August 2011, only at the age of 17.

On 26 May 2012 he made his senior debut with Finland, playing full minutes in a 3−2 victory over Turkey and so he became the third youngest player in the history of the national team.[2]
