Juho Teemu Kristian Kilo (born 23 June 2002) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eredivisie club ADO Den Haag.

Early career

[edit]

Kilo is a product of Käpylän Pallo (KäPa) youth program. He played with KäPa until August 2018, when he joined the Hamburger SV youth academy for a €100,000 transfer fee.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Hamburger SV II

[edit]

Kilo made his senior debut with Hamburger SV II in 2020, playing in Regionalliga Nord.[2] He played with HSV reserve team two full seasons until the summer 2023, when his contract expired with the club, and he was not offered a contract with the first team.[3][4]

Haka

[edit]

Kilo was without club for the rest of 2023, and on 6 February 2024, he returned to Finland and signed a one-year deal with a Veikkausliiga club FC Haka.[5][6] He made 28 appearances and scored three goals for the club in all competitions combined, before leaving in the beginning of August.

ADO Den Haag

[edit]

On 5 August 2024, Kilo signed a contract with Eerste Divisie club ADO Den Haag in the Netherlands for two seasons, with an option for a third, for an undisclosed fee.[7]

He scored his first goals for the club on 4 October, by a brace in a 5–1 away win against TOP Oss, becoming the first Finnish player since Joonas Kolkka in 2006 to score for ADO Den Haag.[8][9][10] In July 2025, Kilo signed a three-year contract extension.[11]

On 17 March 2026, after a win against Jong Utrecht, ADO won a promotion to Eredivisie, six matches prior to the regular season ending.[12]
