Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Jo Hyeon-Woo is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Ulsan Hyundai FC, rated 14 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 119th of 137 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (50% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hyeon-Woo.

Judged on this season alone, Hyeon-Woo graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 16 of the 16 goalkeepers in the K League 1, on 3 clean sheets across 30 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 7). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 15th of 16 of the 16 goalkeepers in the K League 1. At 35 Hyeon-Woo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Ulsan Hyundai FC finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side

3 clean sheets in 30 appearances (10% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14, Hyeon-Woo carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the K League 1 of 16. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
