Hayato Inamura, a professional footballer from Japan, was born on the 6th of May in the year of 2002, making him 23 years old. Inamura has carved out a niche for himself as a dependable central defender, and currently functions in this role for Celtic Football Club. Standing at 5ft 11in (approximately 1.82m) and weighing in at 11st 4lb (about 72kg), he's a notable presence on the pitch, easily identifiable in his number 25 jersey.
In terms of financial valuation, Inamura's market value is around the range of €300k, an assessment sourced from Transfermarkt, making it approximately £255k in British Pounds.
Before his venture into Celtic, Inamura's football journey saw him in the J1 League in Japan. In February 2024, he joined Albirex Niigata; during his debut season, he made a notable impression by featuring on the first team in 12 league matches. Following his debut season, Inamura proved his worth by appearing in 16 first-team league matches and even scored a goal in the 2025 season at Albirex Niigata.
Inamura's proficiency caught the attention of the recruiters at Celtic, and in July 2025, he transferred from Albirex Niigata to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. This move was facilitated by a transfer fee of around £250k. His early days at Celtic, specifically, the 2025 - 2026 season, saw Inamura making his first-term appearance in a league match.
While it's relatively early on in his tenure at the illustrious club, Inamura's cold determination and consistent performances signpost a player destined to make his mark. His journey at Celtic is one we look forward to detailing in the coming seasons.
