Standing 5ft 10in (1.79m) tall, Hyunjun Yang, who was birthed in the Republic of Korea on 25 May 2002, is a robust forward who mainly adopts the role of a right winger for Celtic. Weighing in at 10st 12lb (69kg), Yang dons the iconic number 13 jersey, lending a unique charm to it.
Based on the data procured from Transfermarkt, Yang's current market value hovers around the £2m mark. His Celtic contract clock is ticking, with just over three years left, set to conclude on the final day of May 2028.
Yang's football metamorphosis began in earnest in January 2021, when he joined Gangwon FC in the K League 1, back in his homeland, the Korea Republic. In his debut season of 2021, he made a modest nine appearances for the first team in league matches. The 2022 season witnessed Yang stepping on the grid, producing an impressive 36 appearances and netting eight goals in the process. His 2023 season was a quieter affair, shuffling onto the pitch 21 times and scooping a solitary goal.
In July 2023, Yang bid adieu to Gangwon FC and ebbed his way to Scotland, joining the ranks of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, plucked for a figure hovering around £2.2m. Proving his mettle in the 2023-2024 season at Celtic, Yang clocked in 24 first team appearances, managing to get on the scoreboard once. The ongoing season, 2024-2025, has seen Yang rack up 23 first team appearances and notch up five goals.
Yang's Celtic voyage has offered him multiple stages to shine on, such as the Champions League 2023-2024 with two starts and two substitute appearances, and the League Cup 2024-2025 and, of course, the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 with a goal to his credit from one start and two substitute appearances. In the Champions League 2024-2025, Yang contributed with one start and five appearances off the bench.
