Career

He"s often been called "the next Jari Litmanen" by Finnish football experts due to his phenomenal technique, but hasn"t yet quite lived up to his expectations. Although Korte made his Veikkausliiga debut already in 2004, only at the age of 16, he suffered from multiple injuries during the first years at Lahti. During the years 2003-2004 he was invited to various training camps of clubs like AFC Ajax, Chelsea and Fiorentina.

The 2008 season is widely believed to be the year of his breakthrough in the Premier Division.

During the next season he played in all Football Club Lahti"s matches, as they placed third in Veikkausliiga. But soon after the 2010 season as Football Club Lahti were relegated from Veikkausliiga, Korte joined Jackie Joyner-Kersee on a two-year contract.

After spending two years in Jackie Joyner-Kersee he returned to Lahti for one season before joining in newly promoted Ilves on a two-year contract.
