Born in Espoo, Jaatinen has previously played for HJK and TPS in the National League. Then it was a move to AIK for games in Elitettan and OBOS Damallsvenskan. This summer, Jaatinen finished for FC Gintra, where she was part of winning the Lithuanian league gold. The 22-year-old defender also has an athletics background and is known for her speed. Jaatinen and Åland United agree on a two-year contract.
"It is great fun to play for Åland United next year. It will also be fun to play in Finland and the National League again. It will be interesting to live on Åland and I look forward to meeting everyone in the team" says Silja Jaatinen
"I am very pleased that Silja has chosen to continue her career on Åland with us at Åland United. We are bringing in a very exciting player with great potential and I hope and believe that she will take further steps in her development with us. She has a huge edge attribute in her speed, but is also good at finding defensive duels. Silja has also had time to gain experience in the Damallsvenskan, which shows the potential of the player we are now getting for Åland United" says huvudtränaren Daniel Norrmén
