Club career

Club

In November 2015, Kaufmann signed for newly promoted Veikkausliiga side PK-35 Vantaa. [4] After being on trial with HJK, Kaufmann signed a three-year contract with FC Honka on 28 February 2017. [5] In February 2018 Kaufmann suffered a LCL rupture and had to undergo surgery, but he recovered quickly in 4 months just on time for the second home game of the Veikkausliiga-season. Kaufmann was selected to the Veikkausliiga 'Team of the Month' in June 2018, after scoring 4 goals in just 5 games, [6] and again to the 'Team of the Month' in August, this time giving 5 assists in 6 games and playing an important role in Honka's offense. [7] The 2018 season ended for Honka, however, in a disappointing way, when KuPS took the third place by having a better goal difference.

In 2019 Kaufmann did not start off hot; scoring his first goal of the season not until in a 3–0 home win against HIFK in mid-July. [8]
