Gwangju FC fired a signal to reinforce its players in 2026. Fullback Park Won-jae (31) was brought in.

Gwangju announced on the 2nd that it has recruited fullback Park Won-jae, who has played for Jeju SK FC and Gyeongnam FC.

A graduate of Yeongdeungpo Technical High School - Chung-Ang University, Park Won-jae made his professional debut at Jeonbuk Hyundai in 2017. After that, he moved to Jeju United (currently Jeju SK FC) in 2020 after living on loan with Seongnam FC, and was responsible for the team's side defense by scoring one goal and four assists in 32 games in two seasons.

He then stood out with six goals and nine assists in 24 games at Goyang KH FC in the K4 League, where he joined for military service, and Dangjin Civic Football Team proved his aggressive capabilities by scoring three goals and 12 assists in 22 games. Park Won-jae, who joined Gyeongnam FC in 2024 after being discharged from the military, played as a key fullback in two seasons with one goal and three assists in 60 games, and last season, he also showed leadership in leading the team with the captain's armband.

Park Won-jae mainly plays right fullback, but he is an all-weather defender who can play stable on the left. Based on active overlap and accurate crosses, side attack options can be expanded, and it is considered a resource that can speed up the pace of attack deployment through linked plays with wingers and midfielders.

Park Won-jae said, "It's an honor to join Gwangju FC, which I thought was a good team," adding, "I want to show myself on the K League 1 stage." I will quickly adapt to the team and contribute to the soccer pursued by Gwangju," he said.

Meanwhile, Park Won-jae will be able to register as a player from June, when the summer transfer market opens this year, according to the current registration ban, and the club plans to prepare for actual use by focusing on improving the player's adaptation and understanding of tactics during that period.
