Even though he is currently without a club, players do get visibility with HJK cos they get to play agains the big ones. David Browne scored a really beautiful goal against Mourinho's AS Roma but the damn VAR took it away.
Yeah, Finland, especially HJK, can be a great path to reach some big European clubs. Last season they had David Browne who is from Pupua New Guinea. 👇

good deal
Not sure where to put this, but a thread about a Finnish footballer seems as good as any:

Man, just some time ago saw him score in our "west coast derby", an excellent player and VPS, their team is on fire and the topic of the season!
There are a few Aussies playing in Finland at the moment.
We only have semi-pro 2nd tier (state leagues rather than national) and no pro/rel so opportunities are limited.
Cool to see Finland as a viable path.

Hadn't heard of Browne before.
Looks like he had been playing in the NZ league which is also semi-pro.
I do really love these alternate pathways!
Browne is a real quality player, hope he finds a club soon. I think he still has good years a head of him.
Also VAR is a cancer.
Literally ruined the emotion of football.
Agreed.
