Hyunjun Yang, born on 25 May 2002 and now 23 years of age, hails from Korea Republic and puts his boots on for Celtic as a dependable right winger. His stature stands at 1.79m (5ft 10in) and his physicality is set at 69kg (10st 12lb). Yang graces the field with the number 13 emblazoned on his jersey and not only appears for the Hoops - he also sports the colours of the Korea Republic national team.
As of the moment, his market worth sits around £2.1m, as noted by Transfermarkt.
Prior to joining the Bhoys, Yang was part of Gangwon FC in Korea Republic's K League 1. He started his professional football journey there in January 2021. His debut season marked by nine first team appearances in league matches. In the following 2022 season, he managed to find his stride, impressing with 36 appearances and bagging eight goals. His tenure in the 2023 season at Gangwon FC, however, was cut short by 21 appearances and a solitary goal.
Opportunity came knocking in July 2023 for Yang, receiving the chance of a lifetime to transfer to the Scottish Premiership with the Celts for a fee around £2.2m.
His maiden 2023 - 2024 season at Celtic Park saw him taking to the pitch 24 times, even netting a goal, in league matches. Much of the same came in the subsequent 2024 - 2025 season, with 23 appearances and an improved tally of five goals. As of the current 2025 - 2026 season, Yang has already marked his presence in 22 matches and scored an impressive four goals.
But it's not all about league matches for Yang - he has shown his commitment to Celtic by participating in several tournaments. These include the League Cup 2025 - 2026 where he scored a goal within three appearances, the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 with two starts, the World Cup Qualifiers Asia 2024 - 2026 with three appearances off the bench, the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 with two appearances, and the Europa League 2025 - 2026 where he made seven appearances and scored a goal.
