Hyunjun Yang, a football forward hailing from the Korea Republic, was born on the 25th of May 2002, making him 23 years old. For Celtic Football Club, his main position is right winger. Standing 5ft 10in tall (1.79m) and tipping the scales at 10st 12lb (69kg), Yang wears the number 13 jersey on the Celtic side. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to hover around the £2.14m mark.
In January 2021, Yang embarked on his professional football journey, joining Gangwon FC in the K League 1 in his native Korea Republic. His debut season in 2021 witnessed him making nine appearances for the first team in league matches. 2022 proved to be a standout year for Yang at Gangwon FC, patiently earning his stripes with 36 first team appearances and scoring eight league goals. His final season in 2023 with Gangwon FC, however, was slightly subdued, culminating in 21 first team appearances and a solitary league goal.
July 2023 marked a sea change in Yang’s career as he took the bold step to move from Gangwon FC to Celtic in Scotland’s Premiership, for a transfer fee of approximately £2.2m. His tenure at Celtic has been a fruitful one so far. Over the course of the 2023/24 season with Celtic, Yang made significant strides, making 24 first team appearances and scoring a league goal. Progress was steady into the next season, with Yang making 23 first team appearances and netting five league goals in the 2024/25 season.
