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.
