About Oh Jang-eun

Born 1985. Oh Jang-eun is a South Korean association football player.

Oh Jang-Eun (; born 24 July 1985) is a football player from South Korea. He was selected to play for Asian Cup 2007, replacing Kim Nam-Il after his injury.

Club career In 2002, Oh Jang-Eun debuted for Japanese J1 League side FC Tokyo, and set the record for the youngest player to play in the J1 League. Unusually for a Korean, he spent time in the junior ranks of FC Tokyo, rather than having a youth career with a Korean University side. He moved to South Korean K-League side Daegu FC, where he would spend two seasons. He then moved to Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i in 2007, and contributed to the club's win in the 2007 K-League Cup. He made a professional career first hat-trick in an away match against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on 23 September 2006.

On 1 February 2011, Oh Jang-Eun signed for Suwon Samsung Bluewings.

International career Oh has been a member of the national side, both at junior and senior level. He played in the U-20 side in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship. A part-timer in the senior side since making his senior debut against Ghana in 2006, the most recent of his 14 caps was against Japan, during the 2010 East Asian Football Championship.
