Vertti Hänninen (born 1 June 2002) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Veikkausliiga club Gnistan.
Hänninen was raised in Rovaniemi and started playing football in a local club Rovaniemen Palloseura (RoPS). He made his senior debut with the club's reserve team in the fourth-tier Kolmonen in 2018.[1]
On 13 December 2021, Hänninen signed with Veikkausliiga club Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho (SJK), starting in the 2022 season.[2] On 4 July 2023, he was loaned out to Džiugas Telšiai in Lithuanian A Lyga for the rest of the season,[3][4] but managed to make only two league appearances for the club due to injury.[5] After his loan deal had ended, it was announced in the end of December that Hänninen would not continue with SJK.[6]
On 18 January 2024, Hänninen joined newly promoted Veikkausliiga club IF Gnistan.[7] On 6 April, in the opening game of the season, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 home win against Inter Turku, but was injured later during the match and missed the next 12 league games. On 17 February 2025, he signed a two-year contract extension.[8]
