Hyeongyu Oh, born on 12 April 2001 in Korea Republic, is currently 23 years old and is making his mark as a forward, primarily playing as a striker for Genk. This established player boasts a height of 6ft (1.85m) and a solid weight of 13 stone (83 kg), donning the number 9 jersey with pride.
Oh's footballing journey began in earnest in January 2014, when he signed for Suwon Samsung Bluewings in the K League 2 in Korea Republic. His first season, 2019, saw him make 11 first team appearances in the league matches. By 2022, with two more stints of play, he had a total of 36 first team appearances and had scored 13 impressive goals.
Oh's career took an interesting turn in May 2020 when he was loaned out to Gimcheon Sangmu in the K League 1. During this tenure, he managed to score two goals in his five appearances in the 2020 season and five goals in his 33 appearances the next season. Upon the conclusion of his loan, Oh returned to his original team, Suwon Samsung Bluewings, in November 2021.
In January 2023, a significant chapter in Oh's career unfolded when he transferred from Suwon Samsung Bluewings to Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland for approximately £2.5 million. His tenure at Celtic revealed his tenacity and talent. He made 16 first team appearances and netted six goals in the 2022-2023 season, following with 20 first team appearances and five goals in the 2023-2024 season.
Oh's journey with Celtic came to an end in July 2024 when he transferred to Genk in the Pro League in Belgium for an exchange of around £2.3 million. In the current 2024-2025 season playing for Genk, Oh has already made 27 first team appearances and has scored seven goals in the league matches. He also participated in the Pro League Play-Offs 2024-2025 for Genk, scoring two goals in just one appearance as a substitute.
Oh's trajectory leaves no doubt about his impressive talent and resilience, and it will be interesting to see what future seasons hold for this dynamic player.
