Hyunjun Yang was born on 25 May 2002, in the Republic of Korea. As a sprightly 22-year-old, he now leads the lines as a forward for Celtic, where he primarily carries out his duties as a right winger. Matching up at 5ft 10in (1.79m), he casts a versatile figure on the field, complementing his stature with a weight of 10st 12lb (69kg). Yang serves under the banner of the number 13 jersey at Celtic.
Transfermarkt places Yang's current market value at a current approximate of €2.50m, which, when converted, amounts to around £2m. The expiry of his contract with Celtic is due at a time not too distant, with the end set for 31 May 2028, or 3 years and 2 months away.
Come January 2021, Yang had cemented his spot at Gangwon FC in the K League 1 in his native Korea Republic. In his initial season, he carved his name into the starting lineup on nine occasions. The following season was wherein he truly kicked off, scoring eight goals across 36 first team appearances in the league. However, his third season saw this progression stutter somewhat, managing a single goal across 21 league appearances.
In July 2023, he saw an abrupt change of surroundings, exiting Gangwon FC and making a move to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. This transfer was tied with a £2.2m price tag. The address change seemed to bring into light a fresh spark, as the 2023 - 2024 season at Celtic saw Yang make 24 first team appearances and net a single goal in league matches. He maintains this rhythm in the current season, where he's tallied four goals across 20 appearances.
Alongside his usual league responsibilities, Yang has also made his mark in various tournaments. In the 2023 - 2024 Champions League, he made a total of four appearances for Celtic, evenly split between starts and substitute appearances. The 2024 - 2025 League Cup saw him making two appearances off the bench. That same season in the Scottish Cup, he enjoyed one start along with one substitute appearance, making the net bulge once. Finally, the Champions League of 2024 - 2025 saw him make six appearances, with a single start and the rest as a substitute.
