Yutaro Oda is a driven forward, born on 12 August 2001 in Japan, who mainly acts in the role of a right winger for Scotland's Hearts football club. Oda finds success in his 5 feet 11 inches (1.81m) of height alongside an athletic weight of 11 stone (70kg). Putting on the number 11 jersey, he commands presence on the pitch.
As reported by Transfermarkt, Yutaro Oda enjoys a current market worth on the ballpark of £430k. He remains an asset for Hearts until the 31st of May 2026, having around one year and seven months on his contract.
Casting our minds back to the winter transfer window of January 2019, Oda initially landed himself at Vissel Kobe in Japan’s J1 League. During his debut season in 2020, he took to the pitch nineteen times in first team league matches, managing to net the ball once. His 2021 season at Vissel Kobe was less feat-filled, with just three first team appearances and one goal to its name. However, Oda bounced back in 2022, mapping out 21 first team appearances.
January 2023 saw a significant change in Oda's professional journey. He was transferred from Vissel Kobe to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. The terms of his transfer, however, remain under wraps. Oda's first season, 2022/2023, in Scotland gave way to twelve first team appearances and one goal whilst wearing the maize and blue. His second and current season, 2023/2024, with Hearts has been slightly more distinguished, with 25 appearances and five successful strikes at goal. As we traverse through the 2024/2025 season, Oda holds his own with five appearances and a single goal.
Apart from his league commitments, Oda was noted to have played in the League Cup during the 2024/25 season for Hearts, where he made one starting appearance. He was also part of the Scottish Cup team for Hearts in the 2023/24 season, with one start and one substitute appearance. Lastly, Oda also saw action in the Europa League Qualifiers for 2024/25, making two substitute appearances for Hearts.
