Born on 25 May 2002, Hyunjun Yang hails from the Republic of Korea. At 22 years old, he is a forward for Celtic and is predominantly stationed as a right winger. Yang stands at a modest height of 5ft 10in (1.79m) and tips the scale at around 10st 12lb (69kg). His jersey of choice on the pitch is the symbolic number 13.
According to Transfermarkt, Yang's current market value is approximately £1.7m. He's currently locked into a contract with Celtic that has roughly 3 years and 7 months remaining, which is slated to reach its conclusion on 31 May 2028.
Yang's career trajectory started its upward curve in January 2021, when he joined Gangwon FC, a team participating in the K League 1 in his home country. During his debut season there, Yang made nine appearances in the first team league matches. In the following season of 2022, he made 36 first team appearances and managed to hit the back of the net eight times in league matches. A drop in form in the 2023 season saw him limited to 21 first team appearances with just a single goal to his name.
Seeking fresh pastures, Yang transferred to Celtic in Scotland's Premiership for a fee hovering around £2.2m in July 2023. He didn't waste much time acclimating to his new surroundings, amassing 24 first team appearances and netting one goal in league matches during the 2023 - 2024 season. Already in the 2024 - 2025 season, Yang has scored in three first team appearances in league matches.
Never limited to the domestic game, Yang has represented Celtic in numerous competitions outside the league. In the 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025 Champions League tournaments, Yang made four appearances, two of which he started. Additionally, he's had stints in the 2024 - 2025 League Cup and the 2023 - 2024 Scottish Cup, making cameos as a substitute as Celtic look to compete on multiple fronts.
