Career

[edit]

Kemppinen progressed through the youth teams of Kuusysi before making his senior debut as part of FC Lahti in February 2002 in a pre-season friendly against HJK Helsinki, scoring with his first touch.[1] His first competitive appearance followed six months later in a Veikkausliiga game against AC Allianssi, coming off the bench for Heikki Haara.[1] The following season, he scored his first professional goal in a match against FC Jazz.[1]

He became the top goalscorer of FC Lahti in the 2011 Ykkönen season alongside Drilon Shala with 17 goals each, as the club won promotion to the Veikkausliiga.[1][2] To date, he holds the record for most goals scored in a single match for Lahti, scoring five against Helsingin Ponnistus.[1]

In July 2013, Kemppinen suffered a knee injury which required surgery.[3] He decided to retire from professional football shortly after.
