Jonathan Ayola Ursin Rasheed (born 21 November 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Swedish club Värnamo.[1] Born in Sweden, he is a citizen of Norway and Nigeria.[2]

Club career

Rasheed started his youth career in Kortedala IF, played junior football for GAIS and started his senior career in Qviding FIF. After two years with limited play in third-tier IF Sylvia he moved to Norwegian Stabæk Fotball as second-choice goalkeeper. Not featuring once for the first team, in 2014 he was signed by Alta IF, but did not play more than once there either.

In 2015 and 2016 he was finally a first-choice goalkeeper, first for Norwegian second-tier side Follo FK and then for Swedish second-tier side IFK Värnamo. He was brought to BK Häcken and finally made his debut in a fully professional league in 2018.[3][4][5] He missed all of 2019 due to injury.[6]

Rasheed left Häcken for Värnamo, now an Allsvenskan club, in 2022. Rasheed overtok Pilip Vaitsiakhovich as first-choice goalkeeper in 2023.[7]

Personal life

Rasheed was born in Sweden to a Nigerian father and a Norwegian mother.[8]
