Maximo Tolonen (born 4 March 2001) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ykkösliiga club KäPa. [1] [2]
Tolonen was born to a Finnish father and an Argentine mother. He grew up in Espoo, but moved to Cambridge in England when he was five years old. The family lived for one-and-a-half years in Cambridge before moving back to Espoo. [3] Tolonen is fluent in Finnish, Spanish because his mother is Argentine, and English because he lived in England and Scotland. [4]
At the age of 10, in 2011, Tolonen moved to Scotland with his family. He began playing for Rangers. The club later offered him a contract, but he declined, because it was to far away from where he lived in Edinburgh. [3] He then moved to Hibernian. Two years later, the Tolonen family moved back to Finland and joined FC Honka.[ citation needed]
He left SJK at the end of the 2019 season. [5] On 3 December 2019, it was confirmed that Tolonen would join IFK Mariehamn for the 2020 season, signing a one-year deal with an option for one further year. [6]
