K League 1 club Jeju SK has signed Albanian wing forward Chinar (30). He was previously an attacking partner with Aias during their time at FC Noah.

On the 21st, Jeju announced that "the signing of Chinar strengthens our squad" and stated that "Chinar is a perfect replacement for Kwon Chang-hoon, who recently transferred to Persija Jakarta in Indonesia."

A product of the youth academy at KF Vllaznia Shkodër, an Albanian powerhouse, Chinar later played for Samsunspor in Turkey, Shkendija in North Macedonia, and FC Noah in Armenia. In the 2025-2026 season, he transferred to Al-Jabalain in Saudi Arabia's second division, recording seven goals and five assists.

A left-footed player who primarily operates on the right wing, Chinar is known for his excellent ball control, superior link-up play, and ability to drive forward with sudden speed or excel in one-on-one situations, according to the club.

He will reunite with Aias, another foreign player who joined Jeju earlier, having previously played together at FC Noah. The club added that Chinar's performance "recalls the combination of Son Heung-min and Harry Kane seen at Tottenham."

Jeju head coach Sergio Costa said, "Chinar has proven his competitiveness across multiple leagues. Having already played with Aias before, we expect him to inject new energy into our team's attack."

Through the club, Chinar stated, "I understand that K League 1 is a highly competitive league. Therefore, I aim to showcase my strengths in every match and contribute to the team. I am also excited to play again with Aias, with whom I displayed fantastic chemistry at FC Noah. I will repay the fans with excellent performances and results."
