Riihilahti started his career at HJK where he made his Veikkausliiga debut in 1995. He won the Finnish championship once and the Finnish Cup twice with HJK, and also gained UEFA Champions League experience in the 1998-99 season. Riihilahti then moved to Norway's Vålerenga I.F. for the 1999 season. After two seasons in Norway he joined England's Crystal Palace in 2001, and eventually became a fans' favourite at the club. In Palace's 2004-05 Premiership season he showed he has what it takes to play in one of Europe's top leagues. Aki was so loved by the Crystal Palace faithful that a Finnish flag with the legend 'AKI 15' across the centre was hung behind one of the Selhurst Park goals for the entire Premiership season. However, his next season, back in the Championship, following Palace's relegation, was not so successful because injuries limited his chances. After his contract with Palace expired in the summer of 2006, he was picked up by Kaiserslautern on a one-year deal. In June 2007, Riihilathi signed a two and a half year deal with Stockholm club Djurgårdens IF.
