About
Hwang Ui-jo is a South Korean forward currently without a club after entering the market as a free agent. He built his reputation in the K League with Seongnam FC, where a 15-goal haul in 2015 earned him his first South Korea call-up, before moving to Japan with Gamba Osaka. A productive spell at Bordeaux in France’s Ligue 1 then prompted a 2022 transfer to Nottingham Forest, though his Premier League stay was punctuated by loans to Olympiacos, his boyhood club FC Seoul, and Norwich City. A regular for the national side, he scored 19 goals across 62 international caps. A natural finisher who leads the line with movement and clever positioning, his most recent contract ran until June 2025, with his reported weekly wage during that deal standing at around £38,000.
