Reo Hatate

Reo Hatate has been a regular part of Celtic’s midfield rotation in the Premiership, making 30 appearances with 19 starts and 11 outings from the bench. Two league goals is a modest return for a centre midfielder with attacking licence, but his wider season looks more productive once Europe and the cups are included – six goals in 47 appearances across all competitions. The split between starts and substitute appearances suggests he remains important, but not an automatic every-week selection.

Hatate’s season rating profile is steady rather than spectacular, with an average of 6.86. His highest mark of 8.27 shows he can still produce standout performances, while the low of 6.18 points to the occasional quieter game. Overall, the ratings fit the picture of a useful, technically important midfielder whose influence can fluctuate from match to match.

Hatate’s career path is straightforward: he emerged at Kawasaki Frontale before moving to Celtic, where his scoring output has generally become more substantial. The supplied record shows five goals in each of his final two Kawasaki seasons, then returns of four, six, three, 10 and two goals across his Celtic seasons to date. The 10-goal 2024-2025 campaign stands out as his most productive year, while the current season looks more like a supporting midfield contribution than a headline attacking one.

The key move in Hatate’s transfer history is the January 2022 switch from Kawasaki Frontale to Celtic for €1.4m. That reads as a clear step up in profile and competitive environment, and the current €10.00m market value indicates strong value retention and development since arrival. There is no loan pattern in the supplied data – his career has been built around two stable senior spells rather than frequent moves.
