Club career

[edit]

Having progressed through the youth academies at Pohang Steel Middle School and Pohang Steel High School, Shin made his professional debut with Pohang Steelers in 2006.[1][2] In his first stint playing for the club he made 19 appearances, recording two goals and two assists.[3] In 2008, the Steelers loaned Shin out to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors as part of a player swap agreement which saw Stevica Ristić going in the opposite direction.[3] The original deal would have seen Shin stay at Jeonbuk for two and a half years, but the clubs mutually agreed to end the contract early and Shin returned to Pohang in summer 2010.[4] In December 2014 Shin began his military service, playing for Ansan Police FC until his discharge in September 2016.[5][6]

On 3 January 2017, Shin joined FC Seoul, but while at the club he was forced to take almost two years off from football due to osteitis pubis.[7][8] Having made a successful recovery, in 2019 he transferred to Gangwon FC.[9] In 2021 Shin returned to his first team, Pohang, now as one of the oldest members of the squad.[10]

International career

[edit]

He played for South Korea at the 2006 AFC Youth Championship and at the subsequent 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, 2008 Summer Olympics.
