Yang Hyun-jun (Korean: ์–‘ํ˜„์ค€; born 25 May 2002) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a winger or right wing-back for Scottish Premiership club Celtic and the South Korea national team.

Club career

[edit]

Gangwon FC

[edit]

Yang joined Gangwon FC just after graduating from high school in 2021.[2] He was evaluated as the best K League talent by winning four Young Player of the Month awards and the Young Player of the Year award in his second professional season.[3] He attracted Koreans with his dribbling skills during the season, especially in the K League All-Star Game against Tottenham Hotspur.[4]

Celtic

[edit]

On 15 July 2023, Gangwon FC announced that Yang would be transferring to Scottish Premiership club Celtic.[5] On 24 July, Celtic announced that Yang had signed on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[6] Yang made his Celtic debut in a 4โ€“2 victory over Ross County on 5 August. He also made his UEFA Champions League debut as a starter in a 2โ€“1 defeat to Lazio on 4 October. He scored his first goal for Celtic in a 6โ€“0 victory over Aberdeen on 12 November.

On 12 February 2025, Yang provided his first Champions League assist in a 2โ€“1 loss to Bayern Munich.[7] On 1 March, he had come on as a 65th minute substitute against St Mirren, and was named the Player of the Match by having two goals and one assist which broke a 2โ€“2 tie.[8][9]

On 3 January 2026, Yang broke down Rangers' defense with his dribbling to score the opening goal, but Celtic lost 3โ€“1 in the Old Firm derby despite his solo goal.[10]

International career

[edit]

Yang was selected for the South Korea national team for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, playing two matches as a substitute.[11]

He was called up to the national team just over a year after the Asian Cup to prepare for a series of home matches against Oman and Jordan in the third Asian qualifier for the 2026 World Cup.[12]
