Career[edit]

Tulehmo is a product of the youth academy of his home town club Ilves.[2] He started to play football in the club's youth team when he was four years old.[3]

In the summer 2022, Tulehmo was among the five youth players to sign a development contract with Ilves.[4] He made his senior debut in 2023 with the club's reserve team Ilves II, playing in the third-tier league Kakkonen Group B. He played in a total of eight matches and scored once in the 2023 Kakkonen season. He was also named in the Ilves first team line-up on 5 July 2023, in the 2023 Finnish Cup quarter final win against VJS, but remained an unused substitute.[5]

On 4 January 2024, at the age of 16, Tulehmo signed his first professional contract with the Ilves first team on a three-year deal.[6][7] He debuted with the first team on 3 February 2024, in a Finnish League Cup match against Vaasan Palloseura (VPS).
