He has previously played for Klubi 04, AZ, Telstar, Termalica Nieciecza and Djurgården. Toivio has been capped while playing for Finland, and was also the captain of the under-21 team, for whom he has played in both midfield and at the back.

Career

In 2018, after leaving on a bosman from Termalica Nieciecza, Joona Toivio signed for Swedish side Häcken.[4]
