Born on the 20th of January 1995 in Japan, Kyogo Furuhashi is currently aged 30. He primarily earns his pay as a striker for Birmingham City, and has also represented the Japan national team. He is a decent presence on the pitch, standing at 5ft 6in (1.7m) tall and weighing in at 9st 12lb (63kg), further accentuated by his trailblazing number 9 jersey.
His prowess on the field has commanded a marked value of around €6.00m, a figure supported by Transfermarkt.
Furuhashi made his debut in professional football in January 2017, signing with FC Gifu in Japan's Lower Leagues. He made an immediate impact, appearing 24 times and chipping five goals in his maiden season.
Transfer season of July 2018 saw Furuhashi move from FC Gifu to Vissel Kobe in the J1 League, Japan. The switch cost Vissel Kobe £140k, worth every bit as Furuhashi left a commendable record of 95 appearances and 42 goals across his stay there.
Celtic in the Scottish Premiership signed Furuhashi in July 2021 for a robust fee of £4.6m. His tenure at Celtic spanned four treasured seasons. The striker made 116 appearances across this time, with a remarkable tally of 63 goals gracing the league matches. But it wasn't just his goal-scoring exploits that earned admiration, rather his consistency, game intelligence and commitment to the green-and-white cause which ensured he'll be long remembered at Celtic Park.
Come 2025, and Furuhashi found himself on the move again. This time his path led him to Rennes in France's Ligue 1, for a staggering sum of £10m. Though with only six appearances in the season, it reflected a somewhat muted spell for Furuhashi.
July of the same year had Furuhashi on the road yet again, this time towards Birmingham City in the English Championship, for an undisclosed fee. As the present season unfolds, Furuhashi has made 24 appearances so far. He also partook in the FA Cup and the League Cup for Birmingham City, finding the back of the net once in both competitions. Furthermore, he had two substitute appearances in the World Cup Qualifiers Asia for Japan.
