Career

Earlier in his career, he was training with HJK's first team before he had a trial at Manchester United.[1] Though this proved unsuccessful, he later signed for AZ. He did not make a single appearance during his two years with AZ, and had a spell with Telstar before he decided to move to Swedish side Djurgårdens IF in January 2010.[2] On 13 March 2013, Toivio signed for Norwegian side Molde, as a replacement for Vegard Forren who had moved to Southampton.[3]

In 2018, after leaving on a bosman from Termalica Nieciecza, Joona Toivio signed for Swedish side Häcken.[4] He made his competitive debut for the club on 19 August 2018 in a 2–0 away victory over Sundsvall, registering an assist on Alexander Jeremejeff's 54th-minute goal.[5]
