Hyunjun Yang, born on 25 May 2002 (age 24), is a South Korean right winger for Celtic, wearing squad number 13. He came through at Gangwon FC and had his most productive league season there in 2022, scoring eight goals in 36 appearances.
Celtic signed him from Gangwon in July 2023 for around £2m. It was a sensible enough move: a young wide player with first-team football behind him, rather than another prospect arriving on little more than promise.
At Celtic, Yang has been part of a successful period, winning two Premiership titles, one League Cup and one Scottish Cup. This season he has made two league appearances, four in the Scottish Cup and seven in the Europa League, scoring once in Europe. He has also been involved with Korea Republic, appearing in World Cup and Asian qualifying fixtures.
His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Still part of the Celtic squad, Yang’s career so far runs from regular football in South Korea to a role in a title-winning side in Glasgow, with the next step being to turn those flashes into a firmer place in the team.
