K League 1 club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors has signed Lithuanian national team striker Gytis Paulauskas (27), who played for Jeju SK in the first half of the season.

The Jeonbuk club announced on the 2nd that it has acquired the forward, Gytis, known for his 196cm height and strengths in aerial duels and post play, on a six-month loan to bolster its attacking lineup. His jersey number is 81.

Facing the setback of key striker Thiago's injury absence, Jeonbuk signed Gytis to prepare for a second-half league rebound and upcoming fixtures including the Korea Cup and the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE).

Gytis, who was also called up to the Lithuanian A national team in 2020, has experienced various European leagues including those of Lithuania, Albania, and Ukraine, absorbing diverse football styles. After joining Jeju, he made seven appearances in the first half, recording one assist.

The Jeonbuk club expects Gytis's excellent physicality and diligent work rate to add diversity to Jeonbuk's attacking tactics.

Through the club, Gytis stated, "It is an honor to join Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, a prestigious club in the K League," and added, "I will contribute to victory with dedicated play on the field to meet fans' expectations."
