An official familiar with the K-League transfer market said, `FC Seoul striker Kim Shin-jin will wear the Kangwon uniform for the rest of the season. The negotiations have been concluded, and there will be an official announcement after a medical test.' Kim Shin-jin had a farewell match in an away game at Jeju United on the 23rd.
Kim Shin-jin returned to Seoul this season after a loan at E-Land in Seoul in the second half of last season. Transfer to other teams and enlistment in the military were mentioned, but they remained in Seoul. But there was no place to stand. He rarely played because he was pushed by Cho Young-wook and Banks. With the recruitment of Klimala from the summer transfer market, its position has been further reduced.
Gangwon reached out to Kim Shin-jin, who was seeking change. Although Kim Gun-hee joined the team, Gangwon, which has to play the Asian Champions League at the same time, desperately needed to recruit additional strikers. This is why Kim Shin-jin was recruited.
Kim Shin-jin is an unfinished business. Kim Shin-jin made his professional debut in Seoul in 2022, led by Ahn Ik-soo, former coach of Sunmoon University. Kim Shin-jin, who has been to and from center back and midfielder in his first year, scored five goals in 2023 and was recognized for his ability. After that, he showed his ups and downs. Coach Kim Do-kyun, who has a good opinion on using strikers, left on loan to E-Land, which raised expectations, but scored only two goals.
Kim Shin-jin scored 11 goals and 1 assist in 72 professional games. However, it is still highly regarded as having a solid body of 1m86 and multi-capability to play both front-line strikers and second-line lines. Kim Shin-jin seeks a new way out by returning to Gangwon, where he was a youth team.
