Signed: July 2003 from Preston North End

Popularly known as Tepi, this brave and commanding keeper has represented Finland at U21 and Full International level. The towering Finn started his senior career with FC Ilves of Tampere where he also gained European experience over five seasons with the club. In 1994, Tepi moved to FF Jaro of Pietarsaari and then in December 1995, Preston North End paid £120,000 to secure his transfer.

During 1996-97 the imposing keeper played on loan for both Scarborough and Darlington, but he eventually became established at Preston and with a very impressive shut out record, Tepi helped North End to win the Division Two Championship in 1999-2000. The following season, he assisted his club into the First Division Play-Off Final, but then he lost his regular position in April 2002 after Craig Brown took over as manager.

Accordingly, in January 2003 he was recruited on loan by Hearts and the big keeper played in the League Cup semi-final against Rangers and also helped the team to secure 3rd position in the Premier League and therefore a UEFA Cup place. At the end of the season, he was released by Preston and was subsequently signed by Hearts on a two-year contract.

Tepi assisted Hearts to another 3rd place finish in 2003-04 and during the campaign, his solid and reliable form earning him a recall to the Finnish international squad. As a result, in November 2003, Tepi won his fourth cap for Finland, assisting his country to a 2-1 victory over Honduras.
