Born and raised in the small town of Simpele located near the Russian border, Joronen joined Fulham Academy in 2009.[3] In June 2010, Joronen signed his first professional contract with the club, which will keep him until 2013.[4]

In May 2012, Joronen signed a two-year extension with Fulham, that will keep him until 2014.[5] Six month later, on 25 October 2012, Joronen joined Maidenhead United on loan[6] and in February 2013, Joronen was loaned to Cambridge United.[7] Only a day later Joronen returned to Fulham after he refused to be named as a substitute for Cambridge.[8]

After a loan spell at Maidenhead United, Joronen then move back to Finland, where he joined Veikkausliiga side FC Lahti on loan until August.[9] After making eighteen appearance for the club, which he established himself as a first choice goalkeeper, Joronen returned to his parent club in early August.[10]

At the start of the 2014–15 season, Joronen signed a two-year contract with the club that kept him until 2016.[11] He was then given his debut as the starting goalkeeper in Fulham's opening game in the Championship against Ipswich Town on 9 August 2014.[12] After making three more appearance for the club, Joronen soon lost his first team place to Marcus Bettinelli and new goalkeeper signing, Gábor Király.[13]

Joronen joined Accrington Stanley on loan for one month on 17 October 2014.[14] Shortly after, he made his Accrington Stanley debut the next day, on 18 October 2014, starting in goal, in a 2–1 loss against Stevenage.[15] However, after making three more appearance at Accrington Stanley whilst on loan, he returned early after dislocating his kneecap during a League Two match against Morecambe.[16] Then, it was announced that Joronen would be out for three to four months.[17]

On 27 August 2015, Joronen signed for Stevenage on loan until January 2016.[18] He made his Stevenage debut two days later, in a 1–1 draw against Dagenham & Redbridge.[19] Joronen scored with a long-range clearance in a match against Wycombe Wanderers on 17 October 2015.[20] He then kept his first clean sheet in a 3–0 win over Gillingham in the first round of the FA Cup.[21] However, after making eleven appearance for the side, Joronen suffered an injury during the match against Gillingham and subsequently returned to his parent club.[22] After returning to his parent club, Joronen signed a contract extension, keeping him until 2017.[23]

In the 2016–17 season, Joronen was featured three times in the EFL Cup, being the first choice goalkeeper ahead of Bettinelli.[24][25] At the end of the 2016–17 season, he was offered a new contract by the club.[26]
