Kim Min-Kyun (Hangul: 김민균; born 30 November 1988) is a South Korean association footballer who plays as midfielder for Ulsan Hyundai in the K League Classic. He is known for his sharp passing, vision and movement that help him create chances for his forwards and for himself.[1]
Club career
Daegu FC
Kim Min-kyun was drafted from Myongji University to Daegu FC in 2009. He made his Daegu FC first-team debut on 8 March 2009 in a match against Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma, and rapidly established himself as one of the first choice midfielders in the squad. Kim scored his first goal against Gangwon FC on 16 May 2009, a match which Daegu drew 2–2. During the 2010 season, Kim was used mainly as a substitute player, making 8 out of his 10 appearances[2] in the K-League from the bench. Kim left Daegu FC after reaching an agreement with the club for a mutual termination of his contract in March 2011.
Fagiano Okayama
On 20 April 2011 he joined Fagiano Okayama.[3] During his time at Fagiano Okayama, Kim became an ever-present member of the starting eleven as an attacking midfielder. Kim played in 73 out of 79 league games during his time at Fagiano Okayama and featured in the starting eleven on 66 of those games. Kim scored his first league goal for Fagiano Okayama in a 2-1 loss against Consadole Sapporo on 29 May 2011.
Jagiellonia Białystok
On 28 January 2013 he joined Jagiellonia Białystok on a two-and-a-half year contract. Kim had previously been training with Jagiellonia Białystok at their training camp in Lithuania and had featured in 3 of their off-season games in Lithuania.[4] Kim failed to secure himself as a first team regular during his time in Poland, featuring in 5 league games without playing the full 90 minutes in any of those games. Additionally Kim also played 4 games in the Młoda Ekstraklasa, the U-21 League for youth players in the Ekstraklasa, and scored a goal in Jagiellonia Białystok's U-21 2-2 draw against Korona Kielce on 22 May 2013.[5] On 15 July 2013 Kim left Jagiellonia Białystok after reaching an agreement with the club for a mutual termination of his contract, citing his hardship in acclimatizing to the team as the main reason for leaving the club.[6]
Fagiano Okayama
