Born on 20 January 1995, Kyogo Furuhashi is a Japanese football forward who currently plies his trade with Rennes in France. Sporting the number 7 jersey, he stands at 5 feet 6 inches in height (1.7m) and carries a weight of 9 stone 12 pounds (approximately 63kg). Furuhashi has also graced the international stage, representing his native Japan.
The present market value of Kyogo Furuhashi stands around £10.2m, according to data from Transfermarkt. His contractual agreement with Rennes extends for another 2 years and 2 months, up until 30 June 2027.
Furuhashi kicked off his professional career with FC Gifu in the Japan Lower Leagues in January 2017. He quickly earned his stripes and made his league debut within the same season, featuring in 24 games and recording five goals.
By July 2018, Furuhashi made the leap to Vissel Kobe, a J1 League side in Japan. The transfer came with a financial cost of around £140,000. Across his time spent at Vissel Kobe, he enhanced his reputation as a goal scorer, chalking up 31 league appearances and rattling the back of the net ten times in the 2019 season, and followed up with exceptional performances in the 2020 and 2021 season with increasing goal tallies.
In July 2021, Furuhashi was on the move again. This time to the Scottish Premiership, with a move to the famed Celtic Football Club. The transfer was reportedly valued at around £4.6m. It was at Celtic where Furuhashi truly made his mark. From the 2021 season to the 2024 season, he was an integral cog in the Celtic machine, scoring consistently in each season, including a staggering 27 goal haul in the 2022 - 2023 season.
Despite exhilarating performances at Celtic, it was in January 2025 that Furuhashi set sail for pastures anew. The Japanese forward swapped the shoary terrains of Scotland for the vineyards of France, with a move to Ligue 1 side Rennes. The move reportedly amounted to £10m. Furuhashi is gradually making his presence felt in French football, having made six first team appearances so far.
On an international level, he participated in the World Cup Qualifiers Asia 2024 - 2026 for Japan, making two appearances as a substitute.
