Jang Gyeol-hee

Jang Gyeol-hee (; born 4 April 1998) is a South Korean former footballer who played as a forward.

Club career Born in Seoul, Jang began his career with Pohang Steelers, before joining Spanish side Barcelona in 2011, following similar deals for compatriots Lee Seung-woo and Paik Seung-ho. These deals, along with multiple others, would cause Barcelona to be sanctioned by international body FIFA in 2014, for breach of their rules regarding recruitment of youth players. Due to this, Jang was banned for three years, and briefly moved back to South Korea, along with Lee, to train with K League 2 side Suwon FC.

In the summer of 2017, having failed to achieve promotion to Barcelona's B squad, he was released. In February of the following year, he signed with Pyeongtaek Citizen. Despite being a relatively bright player in Pyeongtaek Citizen's 8–0 Korean FA Cup loss to Gimcheon Sangmu, he only managed a total of eleven appearances in 2021, scoring once.

The following year, he played for both Seoul Jungnang and Anseong Citizen. He was set to play in the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup, but missed out due to an ankle injury.

Coaching career Having left Pyeongtaek Citizen at the end of 2021, Jang went into youth football coaching. His first role was managing a youth team in Pyeongtaek.
