Shin Yamada, an engaging prospect born on the 30th of May in the year 2000, hails originally from Japan. A confounding forward known mostly for occupying the position of a striker, Yamada, at present, lends his services to Preussen Munster. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.75m) with a weight of 11st 11lb (75kg), he is a recognisable figure on the pitch. The revered number 9 jersey adorns him, and he further adds to his laurels by being a distinguished representative of the Japan national team.
Yamada's current market value is estimated to be around £855,000 as per Transfermarkt’s evaluation.
Yamada stepped into the vibrant world of professional football with his commendable stint at Japan's J1 League club, Kawasaki Frontale, which started in January 2023. In a promising debut that same year, he came to light with 27 first team appearances and found the back of the net four times. The subsequent 2024 season witnessed him cementing his place with an impressive 38 appearances and a remarkable tally of 19 goals. Come 2025, Yamada's stint with Kawasaki saw a restrained 21 appearances and two goals.
Thereafter, Yamada's career took an exciting turn as he was roped in by the Celtic Football Club in Scotland's Premiership in July 2025. The transfer deal came around at around £1.5m. The ongoing 2025-2026 season at Celtic has seen Yamada don the green and white Hoops and make eight first team appearances so far. This, by any measure, promises a promising initiation at Celtic.
However, in an astonishing development, Yamada found himself on a loan stint to Preussen Munster in the German 2. Bundesliga, which commenced in January 2026. As part of this arrangement, Yamada has so far made three league appearances in the current season of 2025-2026 for Munster, reflecting a start that hints towards learning and growth in freshly embraced pastures.
