GC ZURICH SIGN TERUKI HARA

Grasshopper Club Zurich are pleased to announce the signing of Japanese right-back Teruki Hara, subject to completion of a successful medical check. GC Zurich will initially loan the 24-year-old defender from Japanese first division club Shimizu S-Pulse for the current season, with the option to acquire him permanently thereafter.

Teruki Hara developed in the youth teams of Albirex Niigata and made his professional debut in the Japan J1 League in 2017. The Japanese defender has since played a total of 119 games in Japan's top league, contributing three goals and six assists. Most recently, Hara played for Shimizu S-Pulse, with whom he made 60 appearances and contributed to 8 goals over the last two years. In his career so far, Hara has also played 25 games for various levels of Japan's youth national teams and made his debut for the senior national team in 2019.

"After the successful integration and development of Japanese players in our team in recent years, we are pleased to sign Teruki Hara, a dynamic and very versatile player who has already gained great experience and will help us with his qualities in the second half of the season. We wish him a good start in Zurich and hope that he will settle in as quickly as possible," said sporting director Bernt Haas.

Teruki Hara will arrive in Zurich at the beginning of January and undergo his medical check before starting the preparation for the second half of the season.
