Tommi Matti Jyry (born 16 August 1999) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Liga I club Petrolul Ploiești.

A youth product of HJK, Jyry started his professional career at rival team HIFK in 2017. Two years later, he signed for KuPS, winning two domestic trophies during his stint. Jyry changed teams again in 2022, spending two seasons at Inter Turku where he was eventually appointed captain, before moving abroad to Romanian side Petrolul Ploiești.

Club career

[edit]

HIFK

[edit]

Jyry is a product of the HJK Helsinki academy, but started his professional career after moving to a rival club HIFK in the 2017 season, coached by Antti Muurinen.[3][4] Jyry debuted in the league on 12 September 2017, in a Stadin derby match against his former club HJK.[5] During his debut season, Jyry only amassed seven matches without scoring, two of which in the relegation play-offs. He also made two appearances with the club's reserve team in the fourth-tier Kolmonen.

After losing the play-offs, Jyry chose to stay with HIFK in the Ykkönen, the second tier of the Finnish league system.[6] He made 24 league appearances during the 2018 season, and scored his first senior goal in a 2–0 away win over JJK Jyväskylä on 1 June 2018.[7] HIFK promptly returned to the top flight after winning the 2018 Ykkönen title.

KuPS

[edit]

Jyry transferred to Veikkausliiga side Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS) at the start of 2019,[8] winning the national championship title in his first year with the club under the head coach Jani Honkavaara.[9] During early 2020, he ruptured his achilles tendon in training and missed the entire campaign.[10]

After recovering from injury,[11] Jyry only totalled six league matches under new manager Simo Valakari in the 2021 season. He also played three cup matches as the club won the 2021 Finnish Cup. In addition, between May and June 2021, Jyry made three appearances and scored three goals for KuPS' farm team KuFu-98 in the third tier Kakkonen. At the conclusion of the season, he decided to leave the club.[12]

Inter Turku

[edit]

On 24 November 2021, fellow Veikkausliiga side Inter Turku announced the signing of Jyry on a two-year deal, valid from 2022.[13] During his debut season with the club, Inter reached the finals of the Finnish Cup and the Finnish League Cup, eventually finishing second in both competitions.

Ahead of the 2023 campaign, Jyry gained team captaincy.[14] In June 2023, he won the Veikkausliiga Player of the Month award.[15] Following the conclusion of the season, he was handed the Anneli trophy by the Inter board of directors, traditionally granted to the most hard-working loyal player of the team.[16][17]

Petrolul Ploiești

[edit]

On 6 February 2024, Jyry moved abroad for the first time by signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with Romanian club Petrolul Ploiești.[18] He made his Liga I debut on 24 February, coming on as an 85th-minute substitute for Takayuki Seto in a 1–0 away loss to UTA Arad. On 13 April, Jyry scored his first Petrolul goal in Liga I, a winning goal in a 2–1 away victory over Universitatea Cluj, a few minutes after being subbed on.[19]

International career

[edit]

Jyry is a former Finnish youth international, having represented his country at under-15 and under-16 levels.[2]

Personal life

[edit]

Jyry's father Rasmus is a multiple Finnish champion in gymnastics, while his mother Virpi is a physical education teacher.[2]
