Henri Myntti (born March 23, 1982 in Kokkola) is a Finnish footballer who is currently playing for Tampere United in the Finnish Veikkausliiga. He's a tall central defender who can also play as striker.

Club career

Myntti began his career at his hometown Kokkola's top club KPV. In March 2001 he was signed as a promising youth player by the Norwegian Tippeligaen side Tromsø I.L.. [http://www.globalsoccertransfers.com/player/tran0103.html] Failing to secure a place in the Tromsø squad, however, he was loaned out twice during his stay at the club. In 2002, he joined FC Hämeenlinna mid-season to make his Veikkausliiga debut. In 2003, he played the whole season at another Veikkausliiga side FF Jaro. [http://fotball.bt.no/eliteserien/article29048.ece] In July 2004 his contract with Tromsø was terminated. [http://fotball.bt.no/incoming/article27774.ece]

After leaving Norway, Myntti returned home to play for KPV in the Finnish second tier Ykkönen. [http://www.kpnet.com/kpv/uutiset2004.htm] After a successful spell at KPV, he was signed by the defending Finnish champions Tampere United for the 2007 season. [http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/futis/uutiset_erik.shtml/arkistot/futis/2006/11/484818] He went on to renew the title with Tampere as a regular opening squad member.

After a disappointing early season for Tampere United in 2008, the manager Ari Hjelm decided to try Myntti out as a striker. He has since emerged as one of the most prolific goalscorers in Veikkausliiga.

International career

Myntti was capped 12 times for the Finnish national under-21 team. He also has caps at other youth levels. [http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/futis/uutiset_erik.shtml/arkistot/futis/2006/11/484818]

Personal life

Myntti's grandfather, Stig-Göran Myntti, was a regular member of the Finnish national team in the 1940s and 1950s. His father was also capped at youth level. [http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/futis/uutiset_erik.shtml/arkistot/futis/2006/11/484818] [http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/fin-recintlp.html]
