Noel Max Joachim Törnqvist (born 1 February 2002) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Mjällby AIF in Allsvenskan.

Career

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. This year, he also started playing with a helmet. He trained with several foreign clubs such as Leeds United in 2017 and Hellas Verona in 2018. He represented Sweden in a U17 three-nation tournament, playing against the Czech Republic.

Having played for Halmia in Division 2, the fourth tier of Swedish football, Törnqvist was signed by Mjällby AIF ahead of the 2020 season. This was Halmia's largest sale in two decades, since Mikael Roth in 1998.

The 2021 season saw Törnqvist loaned out to Superettan club AFC Eskilstuna. He played 10 matches for AFC, but featured infrequently. When he was omitted from the starting eleven during the closing months of the season, he called it "not fair". In 2022 he played only one league match, but this was his Allsvenskan debut, keeping a clean sheet against Djurgården. He also prolonged his Mjällby contract until 2026. In 2021 he was called up to Sweden U21 for the first time, making his actual debut in 2022.

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.
