Reo Hatate, a native of Japan, was born on the 21st of November, 1997. He is currently 27 years of age. The 5ft 7in (1.71m) central midfielder, weighing in at 11 stone (70kg), lends his skills to Celtic Football Club, donning the number 41 jersey. He is not just a club player; Hatate has also played for the Japan national team.

At array, Hatate's market value is estimated to be around £9m, as cited on Transfermarkt. He is contracted to Celtic until the 31st of May, 2028, with a little over three years left on his current agreement.

Hatate began his professional career in his homeland, joining J1 League club Kawasaki Frontale in August 2018. He made a solitary first-team appearance in his debut season in 2019. The following year, Hatate found his stride, making 31 league appearances and scoring five goals. In 2021, he replicated his scoring tally from the previous season, with five goals from 30 appearances.

Hatate's journey then led him to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, transferring from Kawasaki Frontale in January 2022 for a fee of roughly £1.4m. His initial season in Scotland, 2021 - 2022, saw him make 17 first team appearances and score four goals. The subsequent year, Hatate had 32 first team appearances and six goals to his name. In the 2023 - 2024 season, despite making only 16 first team appearances, Hatate still managed to find the back of the net three times. As for the ongoing 2024 - 2025 season, Hatate has played in the first team 33 times and impressively notched up nine goals.

On the international stage, Hatate has represented Celtic in the Champions League in 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025, with a total of three and nine starts respectively, scoring once in the latter event. In the domestic cup competitions, he has made four starts in the 2024 - 2025 League Cup and also played in the Scottish Cup during the same season, making three starts and one substitute appearance.
