Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Jo Hyeon-Woo is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at Ulsan Hyundai FC, rated 11.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 78th of 83 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36% 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 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the K League 1, on 1 clean sheet across 24 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 2). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 12th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the K League 1. At 34 Hyeon-Woo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

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

1 clean sheet in 24 appearances (4% 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 36% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 11.8, Hyeon-Woo carries the 12th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the K League 1 of 13 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. 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).
