Kim Jin-Ho is a 26-year-old full-back at Gwangju FC, rated 35.9 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (12.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jin-Ho.

On the season, Jin-Ho graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.25 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 4). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36. At 26 Jin-Ho is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jin-Ho missed 6 games through injury (unknown) out of roughly 38 this season. The 13 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 35.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
