Yutaro Oda

Yutaro Oda of Heart of Midlothian was born in Hyōgo, Japan on 12 August 2001 (age 23).

Yutaro Oda, a proficient forward best known for his dynamic role as a right winger, was given life on 12th August 2001, in the culturally rich streets of Japan. Today, the 23 year old suave dons the number 11 jersey for Hearts, adding an invaluable element to their offensive strategy. Oda sets foot on the football battlefield standing proud at 5ft 11in (1.81m) and maintains an athletic figure round about 11st (70kg).

As noted by Transfermarkt, young Oda's current market value circles the region of £425k. Oda's commitment to Hearts is secured, with his contract with the Scottish club indicating a remaining duration of one year and three months, concluding on the last day of May in 2026.

January 2019 saw Oda kick off his professional career with Vissel Kobe, a member of the J1 League in Japan. His enthusiasm was clear in his debut in the 2020 season, making 19 appearances and netting one goal. Vissel Kobe entrusted him with another three appearances in season 2021, where he once again found the back of the net. In 2022, Oda enhanced his presence with a whopping 21 appearances, reinforcing his importance to the team.

However, January 2023 saw a shift in Oda's career as he bade farewell to Vissel Kobe and embraced the chill of Scotland, signing with Hearts for a sum kept under wraps by both parties involved. Oda didn't take long to settle in, securing 12 appearances and a single goal during the 2022-2023 season. His growing comfort and rising proficiency were evident in the next season, 2023-2024, where he stepped onto the pitch 25 times and breached defences with five successful attempts on goal. In the current 2024-2025 season, Oda has marked his presence on five occasions followed with one goal.

Oda optimised opportunities beyond the usual league matches too, making an appearance in the highly competitive League Cup for the 2024-2025 season. The Europa League Qualifiers 2024-2025 saw him make two substitutions for Hearts, complemented by another substitute appearance in the Conference League for the same season.
