Club career

Youth Törnqvist started his youth career in Snöstorp Nyhem FF as an outfield player. He went on to Halmstads BK and became a goalkeeper at age 15, opting to join the smaller city rivals IS Halmia in 2018. He trained with several foreign clubs, namely Leeds United in 2017 and Hellas Verona in 2018.

IS Halmia Törnqvist joined IS Halmia in 2018 and played for the club in Sweden’s Division 2. Over the 2018 and 2019 seasons, he made 22 league appearance. In late 2019, it was confirmed that he would leave the club, with his transfer regarded as IS Halmia’s largest outgoing deal in two decades.

Mjällby Törnqvist completed a move to Mjällby ahead of the 2020 Allsvenskan season. He initially joined as a developing player within the senior squad and spent his first year at the club without making a league appearance.

In 2022 he played only one league match, his Allsvenskan debut, keeping a clean sheet against Djurgården. He also prolonged his Mjällby contract until 2026.

In 2023 he played the 2022–23 Svenska Cupen final which Mjällby lost. The coaches declared Törnqvist to be their first-choice goalkeeper for the season. Shortly into the 2023 season, he received praise for ascending to the level of a good Allsvenskan goalkeeper.

Loan to AFC Eskilstuna The 2021 season saw Törnqvist loaned out to Superettan club AFC Eskilstuna. He played 10 matches for AFC, but featured infrequently.

Como On 31 August 2025, Törnqvist completed a move to Serie A club Como. The agreement included a loan-back arrangement that allowed him to stay at Mjällby and finish the remainder of the Allsvenskan season before joining Como.

Loan to Monza On 31 August 2026, Törnqvist was sent on a one-year loan to Serie A club Monza.

International career Törnqvist represented Sweden in a U17 three-nation tournament, playing against the Czech Republic. In 2021 he was called up to Sweden U21 for the first time, making his debut in 2022.
