Celtic announce signing of winger Hyunjun Yang

He becomes Celtic's fourth summer addition

Published 24th Jul 2023

Celtic have officially announced the signing of South Korean winger Hyunjun Yang

His former club Gangwon revealed in an Instagram post last week that the 21-year old had left the club to complete his move to the Parkhead side.

The Hoops have now revealed the deal is done with the winger penning a five-year deal.

Yang has made 71 appearances for his club and has also featured twice for the South Korean under-23 team.

He becomes their fourth signing of the summer after bringing in Mario Tilio and Odin Thiago Holm - while also making midfielder Tomoki Iwata's switch to Glasgow permanent after spending time on loan last season.

Brendan Rodgers told the club's official website: The Celtic manager said: “We’re delighted to bring Yang to the club and I’m sure he’s going to be another great addition to the squad.

'He’s a player that we’ve looked at closely and who we think will further enhance our attacking options which, of course, already include his fellow countryman Oh.'

“He’s an exciting player who was the Young Player of the Year in South Korea last season, which is an indication of his quality, and I’m sure he’ll be looking forward to having a big impact at the club.

“It’s also clear that he was very keen to make this move to Celtic so I know he’ll be delighted that everything has now been agreed and we’re really looking forward to working with him.”
