K League 1 club GwangjuFC has signed 27-year-old Dutch tall center-back Teun van Hrunsven, firing the starting gun for a second-half turnaround.

The Gwangju club, led by head coach Lee Jeong-gyu, announced on the 30th that it has signed van Hrunsven and is moving forward with full-scale reinforcement of its squad in preparation for the second half of the season.

Van Hrunsven is a right-footed center-back standing 194cm tall, praised for his aerial duel ability and stable defensive coordination. The club explained that he also excels in the build-up process, thanks to his calm passing from the back and ability to advance the ball.

Van Hrunsven is Gwangju's first foreign signing since striker Freydisson last summer, a year after the club was unable to register players due to sanctions imposed by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA). Player registration will be possible starting from the second half of this year.

GwangjuFC plans to accelerate its efforts to bolster its squad with foreign players for a second-half comeback, beginning with the signing of van Hrunsven.

Through the club, van Hrunsven said, "I am very happy to become a member of Gwangju. This is my first experience on a foreign stage, and I have great expectations for this new challenge." He added, "I am well aware that Gwangju is in a difficult situation right now. That is why I came here with a greater sense of responsibility and determination."

He further vowed, "I will pour everything into the matches so that fans can smile again, and I will prove myself in every game so that my name can be recorded at the starting point of Gwangju's rise."
