Professional soccer team K League 1 Daejeon Hana Citizen announced on the 5th that it had recruited striker Choi Geon-

ju, who was playing for K League 2 Busan IPark.

Choi Geon-ju, a graduate of Jeonju Technical High School and Konkuk University, made his professional debut in 2020

He, who recorded double-digit attack points (7 goals, 3 assists) in K League 2 as a member of Ansan in the 2022 season,

recorded 1 goal and 1 assist in 27 games in Busan last year and 1 goal in 18 games this year.

Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers.

The Daejeon club said, "Choi Geon-ju is a player who stands out for his fast speed and aggressive breakthroughs on the

side. He also has excellent individual skills, so he has the ability to create attacking opportunities and finish the game with

his active movements even in competitions with opposing defenders," and expected a synergy effect with players like

Cheon Seong-hun and 토토 Park Jeong-in.

Choi Geon-ju said, "I am happy and excited to be taking on my first K League 1 challenge in Daejeon. I am prepared to

start anew, and if given the opportunity, I will do my best to demonstrate my strengths," adding, "I will do my best in every

game to become a player who can help the team."
