FC Seoul Sign a Defender (Finally!)

FC Seoul have signed a new defender. His name is Jung In-hwan and the last team he played for was Henan Jianye in the Chinese Super League. Last year, the team finished in 5th place, so I guess they are one of the better clubs.

Based on his profile on soccerway.com, he is 29 years old. His contract is for two years and obviously, he must be Lee Woong-hee's replacement. He has a bit of K-League experience. Before playing for Henan Jianye last year, he was with Incheon from 2011 to 2012 and Jeonbuk from 2013 to 2014, so he should be able to adjust to the league rather quickly.

As far as last year, he featured in 29 out of 30 games, which is good. He started in 26, came in a sub in three games, and was replaced in eight games. Dividing the number of minutes by games played, he averaged around 76 minutes a game. He played a lot, but as a defender he was subbed a lot. Was it because his team was chasing a game?

Still, I am glad that Seoul have finally signed a defender. Hopefully he will be as good as Kim Ju-young was in 2014. Here is the announcement with an interesting English translation. As a Zionist, I wonder how outspoken he will be about the settlement in the occupied territories.
