Jenny Vetter

Jennifer Lauren Vetter (born October 17, 1999) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a striker or midfielder for Kansallinen Liiga club Åland United. She played college soccer for the Minnesota State Mavericks before starting her professional career with Portuguese club Racing Power FC and USL Super League club Spokane Zephyr FC.

Early life Vetter was born in Minnesota to parents Tim and Ruth Vetter. She grew up on a farm nearby Kasota alongside her older sister, Lizzy. A multi-sport athlete, she started playing soccer in kindergarten, basketball in 4th grade, and track and field in middle school. Vetter participated in all three sports at Mankato East High School, accumulating a total of nine varsity letters across four years. She was a two-time all-conference and one-time all-state recognee for track, where she participated in multiple events.

College career In her sophomore year of high school, Vetter committed to Minnesota State University, Mankato, her local university. Vetter also ran track as a freshman, following in the footsteps of her mother, Ruth. Vetter was a three-time CoSIDA first-team All-American, a one-time United Soccer Coaches first-team All-American (and two-time third team), and a two-time NSIC Offensive Player of the Year. Instead, she spent time after leaving college training with NWSL club Houston Dash. On June 21, 2023, she signed a one-year contract, not with the Dash, but with Portuguese club Racing Power FC. Joining Racing Power was not only significant due to it being Vetter's first professional contract, but it was also her first time leaving the United States. The squad also made it to the Taça de Portugal final, where they were defeated by Benfica. Vetter was a prominent piece in the historic run, with one of her contributions being a semifinal goal to help the team beat SC Braga.

Spokane Zephyr On June 7, 2024, Vetter was announced to have signed with Spokane Zephyr FC ahead of the inaugural USL Super League season. She made her club debut on September 8, coming on as a second-half substitute for Emina Ekic in the Zephyr's second-ever match. She played in 12 matches as Spokane finished 5th in the table, just below the playoff line.

Åland United In February 2026, Vetter joined Finnish club Åland United on a one-year contract.
