Hyunjun Yang is a South Korean footballer born on 25th of May, 2002, making him 22 years old. Primarily deployed as a right winger for Celtic, he can also operate as a forward. His stature is relatively athletic, standing at 5ft 10in (1.79m) tall and weighing 10st 12lb (69kg). Within the team, he is recognised by his number 13 jersey.
Currently, Yang's market value is estimated at around €2.00m, which equates to about £1.70m, as per Transfermarkt. He remains contractually bound to Celtic until the 31st of May, 2028, which means he has over three years left with the club.
The tale of his football career takes us back to January 2021, when he signed for Gangwon FC in the K League 1 in his home country. During his debut season in 2021, he made nine first team appearances in league matches. His game time increased the following season; across 2022, Yang graced the field in 36 league matches and netted eight times. His last season in 2023 saw him make 21 appearances and score once.
He made the leap to Celtic in Scotland's Premiership in July 2023, transferring from Gangwon FC for a fee of around £2.2m. Despite the daunting transition, Yang held his ground, participating in 24 league matches and scoring his first goal in the 2023-2024 season. As of the current season, 2024-2025, he has represented Celtic six times in league matches.
It would be remiss to not mention Yang’s exploits in other competitions. He took part in the Champions League during the 2023-2024 campaign with Celtic, featuring in two starts and making two appearances as a substitute. He also played in the League Cup in 2024-2025, with two substitute appearances to his name, and the Champions League in the same season, coming off the bench thrice.
