On the 31st (Korean time), he scored an offensive point for the second consecutive game in a friendly match against France's Langs in the 2025-2026 preseason at Beskot Stadium in Walsall, England. Hwang Hee-chan opened the scoring against Stoke City in the English Championship (second division) on the 26th.
It was `Korean Day.' Stoke City's Bae Jun-ho opened the door first. Bae Joon-ho, who started, scored the first goal in the 44th minute of the first half. In a corner kick situation, he shook the net with a sensational heel kick in front of the goal from Million Manhoff's turning shot.
Hwang Hee-chan responded with an equalizer. After being replaced in the 15th minute of the second half, he received a through pass from João Gómez in the 28th minute and flooded with explosive speed. Hwang Hee-chan, who tripped over the opponent's defense in the penalty box, won a penalty. His shot as a kicker himself was blocked by the goalkeeper, but he calmly pushed the ball that came out.
Hwang Hee-chan took the ground as a substitute in the 60th minute of the second half against Lance. In the 37th minute of the second half, when the team was trailing 0-2, he helped Gonzalo Gedes score. He dragged the defense from the right and turned a lobbing pass inside. Gedds, who received the ball, cut the net with a sharp left-footed ground ball after beating a defender. However, Wolverhampton lost to Lance 1-3.

But it crashed last season. He was completely pushed to the bench amid injury variables, and only scored two goals (1 assist) in 21 EPL matches. He started only five games and played 650 minutes.
Wolverhampton sold Cunha in the transfer market this summer, following Netu last year. Hwang Hee-chan was also rumored to be transferred ahead of the new season. But he is building up in Wolverhampton. Hwang Hee-chan is under contract until June 2028.
Son Heung-min's former teammate Matt Doherty recently drew attention by picking Hwang Hee-chan as the most undervalued player in Wolverhampton on the club's SNS. Now I've started preheating.
If Hwang Hee-chan is revived in the 2025-2026 World Cup season, it is expected to be a great energy for Hong Myung-bo, who is preparing for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup.
