Son Jun-ho is the latest addition to the China Soccer League (CSL) and has already made a significant impact on his debut season. The 28-year-old South Korean forward has been praised for his pace, strength, and finishing ability, which have helped him score multiple goals in his first few games.
The son of former professional footballer Lee Jun-ho, Son Jun-ho began his career at the Seoul Euljiro FC before moving to South Korea's top-flight league, K-League. He then went on to play for various clubs in Japan, including Vegalta Sendai and Sagan Tosu.
In January 2021, Son Jun-ho signed with CSL side Guangzhou R&F, where he played for two seasons before joining the Shanghai Shenhua in the summer of 2022. In his time at Shanghai Shenhua, Son Jun-ho scored 14 goals in 27 appearances, earning him praise from fans and teammates alike.
However, it was during his time at Shanghai Shenhua that Son Jun-ho caught the attention of the CSL, as he impressed coaches and scouts with his performances. After impressing in pre-season training, Son Jun-ho was called up to the CSL squad for their opening game against Jiangsu Suning.
His debut season with the CSL has been a success so far, with Son Jun-ho scoring four goals in six games. He has shown great potential for the future and is expected to make more contributions to the team in the coming years.
