Daegu FC transfused a tall striker boasting an all-time height for the 2026 season promotion challenge.

Daegu officially announced on the 11th that it has acquired Deckers (23), an English striker who played for Kilmarnock FC in the first division of Scotland. With this recruitment, Daegu has a new attack tower that combines overwhelming physical and aerial control.

Deckers, wearing a Daegu uniform, said through the club, "I'm excited and excited to come to Daegu. "I confirmed that it is a club with a great stadium and passionate fans," he said. "I want to meet with fans as soon as possible and feel the atmosphere of Daegu iM Bank PARK." I will contribute to the promotion of the team by scoring a lot of goals," he said.

Deckers is expected to be one of the longest offensive resources in the K-League with an overwhelming height of 201cm and a solid physique of 93kg. The club analyzed that Deckers showed strength not only in aerial ball competition using tall height but also in ground competition, and exerts a powerful influence in the offensive camp based on a stable body balance. In particular, the main weapon is the ability to break through one-on-one, bold shots that do not cover the inside and outside the box, and sharp heading in cross situations.

Born in 2003, Deckers began his professional career at Salford City FC in England and gained experience by playing for several clubs in England, including Southend United FC, Morecambe FC and Chester FC. After that, he moved to Kilmarnock FC in the Scottish First Division in July 2025 to improve his skills, and will take on a new challenge by entering the K-League stage this season.

The club noted that Deckers had fast speed and ability to penetrate the back space despite his excellent physical conditions. It is also expected that the ability to protect the ball from the front with an active play style will add a clear option to Daegu's offensive line.

Deckers, who was given No. 16, has completed medical tests and has already joined the squad and begun full-fledged adaptation training for his K-League debut.
