Hyunjun Yang, born on 25 May 2002 (age 23), is a South Korean right winger who came through at Gangwon FC before moving to Celtic in July 2023 for around £2m. His best league return in Korea came in 2022, when he scored eight goals in 36 appearances for Gangwon.
At Celtic, Yang has had to work for his place rather than stroll into it, which is no bad thing for a developing wide player. Wearing squad number 13, he remains part of the first-team picture in 2025-26 and has been a regular presence across the domestic and European schedule.
In 2025-26, he has made 28 league appearances and scored seven goals, with further outings in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, Champions League qualifying and Europa League. Across all competitions for Celtic this season, he has made 43 appearances and scored nine goals. He has also featured for South Korea in Asian World Cup qualifying.
His current market value is around £2.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Yang’s career is still taking shape, but from Gangwon to Celtic he has built a steady profile as a quick, useful wide option who continues to matter in the current squad.
