Yu Hoshide (星出 悠 Hoshide Yū, born August 16, 1977 in Tokyo) is a Japanese soccer player currently playing for Global in the United Football League.
Career
Hoshide played for Meiji University, and spent eight years with YKK AP(currently known as Kataller Toyama of the J.League) in the third division Japan Football League before coming to the United States in 2008.
Hoshide signed for Harrisburg City Islanders in the USL Second Division. Hoshide played 13 games and scored 1 goal during his year with Harrisburg, before being released at the end of the year.
He subsequently signed for Northern Virginia Royals in 2009.[1]
In July, he moved to Joe Public F.C.. Joe Public became the first club in the T&T professional league to have signed a player from the Asian continent, more-so Japan.[2] While Hoshide became close friends with Fabien Lewis (The former Naparima College defender) who now plies his trade with Real Maryland Monarchs was the one who introduced Hoshide to Inshan Flex Mohammed of the Soca Warriors Online, who in turn assisted him in obtaining a trial with the Eastern Lions. Hoshide was quite impressive on his first trial with the Pro League title chasers and as a result was offered a short-term contract.[3]
His quick thinking and technical ability in midfield proved vital in helping Joe Public capture five titles that included the Big Six, Toyota Classic, Digicel Pro Bowl and the T&T Football Federation FA Trophy last season.[4]
Hoshide also became the first Japanese to take part and score in the CONCACAF Champions League with number 10 on his back.
In August 2011, he signed for Filipino side Global F.C., and was immediately assigned as team captain. He made his debut in the 3–2 loss against Stallions in the opening match of the 2011–12 United Football Cup.[5] He captained the Global FC in their 1st UFL Championship since the UFL became a semi-pro league. He won the Agility Award in the awarding ceremony.[6]
