Vilmer Rönnberg (born 28 March 2002) is a Swedish professional footballer who currently plays in the Veikkausliiga for VPS as a central defender.[1] He has previously played for Varberg in the Swedish top tier, Allsvenskan, and for Hammarby TFF in Ettan, the Swedish third tier.[2]

Club career

Vilmer Rönnberg spent his youth career in Enskede IK, where he had his debut on the first team as 16 years old, playing in Division 2 which is the fourth tier of Swedish football.[3] He gained a contract with the youth academy of Hammarby, where he played on the U17 and U19 teams until the end of 2021. He then moved to Hammarby's talent team, where he played for one season. He was not able to gain a professional contract with Hammarby, but instead Varberg offered him a contract.[4][5] He played a full season for them in Allsvenskan,[6] which is the top tier of Swedish football. After Varberg was relegated, they had a new manager who made a lot of changes in the squad. Rönnberg decided to push his luck, and try something different. Thus he joined the Faroese top club B36 Tórshavn,[7][8] who is a regular participant in European club competitions.[9]

On 6 November 2024, Rönnberg signed with Finnish Veikkausliiga club Vaasan Palloseura (VPS) on a two-year deal with a one-year option.[10]
