The 20-year-old Helsinki Roosters graduate will move to the Kuopio Steelers, who have won three consecutive Vaahteraliiga championships, for the next season.
“At this point in my career, I need a team that gives me the opportunity to take responsibility and the opportunity to play as many games as possible and act as the team’s starting quarterback,” says Urjansson in a press release provided by his manager.
“I already know a large part of my future teammates from the national team. So I come to play surrounded by my familiar and safe friends. I want to develop both as a player and as a person, and now I have a very good opportunity to do so.”
Urjansson threw for 656 yards and 11 touchdowns in two games against Denmark and the Czech Republic in the fall EC qualifiers.

Urjansson, the brightest star of the new quarterback generation, can become Kadmiry’s successor already this coming summer.
