K League 2 club GimhaeFC has strengthened its flanks by loaning in 23-year-old Park Jae-hyun from DaeguFC.

Gimhae announced on the 27th that it had bolstered its squad by loaning in Park Jae-hyun, a key flank resource from Daegu.

Standing at 177cm and weighing 69kg, Park boasts a sturdy build, rapid speed, and sharp penetrating ability. He is a versatile player capable of performing as both a winger and a full-back on either flank.

The Gimhae club stated, "We expect this loan signing to inject significant vitality into Gimhae's attacking play."

Young prospect Park Jae-hyun joined Daegu immediately after graduating from high school in 2022. He then played for DaeguFC B-team in the K4 League to gain match experience,

and the following year contributed to the team's promotion to the K3 League, proving his potential.

He also made his debut on the K League 1 stage in 2024, recording two goals in 16 matches and establishing his presence at the professional level.

Gimhae head coach Son Hyun-jun explained the signing through the club: "We desperately needed flank reinforcement. Park Jae-hyun has extensive defensive experience, is intelligent, and excels in movement around the pocket, making him excellent in attacking buildup. We expect him to display quick movements from the flanks and deliver aggressive play suited to our tactics."

Now wearing the Gimhae jersey, Park Jae-hyun expressed his ambition: "I will strive to adapt to the team as soon as possible and show good performances for the fans."

Having completed all signing procedures, including medical tests, Park Jae-hyun has joined team training and is preparing for the Hana Bank Korea Cup Round 3 home match scheduled for the 29th.

Participating in the K League 2 stage for the first time this year, Gimhae currently sits in last place (17th) with two wins, four draws, and eleven losses (10 points).

However, recent form has not been poor. On the 10th, they secured their second victory of the season with a 1-0 win in an away match against Cheonan City. In their previous home game against Cheongju, Chungbuk, they drew 1-1, recording their first-ever points at home. In the 44th minute of the second half, Woo Je-wook scored a precious equalizer.

Having laid the groundwork to escape last place, Gimhae has loaned in Park Jae-hyun, demonstrating its determination to climb the standings.
