K League 1 FC Anyang strengthened the back door by recruiting goalkeeper Kim Jung-hoon (24) from Jeonbuk Hyundai.

Anyang announced in a press release on the 8th that it has confirmed the recruitment of proven goalkeeper Kim Jung-hoon.

Kim Jung-hoon, who will wear the Anyang uniform, said through the club, "I'm happy to join Anyang, which I thought was a romantic team when I met as an opposing team," adding, "It's an honor to play in a stadium with passionate fans." We will show you better performances, so please support us a lot," he said.

Kim Jung-hoon played the role of a candidate goalkeeper in Jeonbuk last season, competing with Song Bum-keun, but his skills are considered league-class. In particular, he played full-time in the final of the Korea Cup against Gwangju FC and played a decisive role in winning the team. In addition to stable defense capabilities, build-up capabilities using both feet and wide field of view are considered advantages.

Kim Jung-hoon started his professional career by signing a semi-professional contract with Jeonbuk in 2019 when he was a senior in high school. He entered the K League 1 stage as a substitute for the opening game of the 2021 season, and after completing his military service at Gimcheon Sangmu, he played for Jeonbuk until the 2025 season. The K-League 1 record is 44 goals and 12 clean sheets in 47 games.

Kim Jung-hoon is an elite resource who has passed the national team by age (U-17, U-20, U-23). In particular, he participated in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and won the gold medal, gaining experience on the international stage.

Anyang, which is stepping up efforts to reinforce its power, will leave for Chonburi, Thailand on the 12th to start the first off-season training in preparation for the 2026 season.
