Suk Hyun-Jun (Hangul: 석현준, born 29 June 1991) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a striker for Portuguese club Porto.
Club career
After a trial-period, Suk was offered a one-year contract with Dutch Eredivisie side AFC Ajax,[2] which he signed on 1 January 2010. He became the first South Korean player to play for Ajax and the eighth to play in the Eredivisie. Suk made his debut in the first team barely a month later as a substitute in the 4–0 home win against Roda JC.
He scored his first Ajax' goal in a 2010–11 pre-season friendly win against Chelsea on 23 July 2010. Despite good performances in pre-season matches, he didn't get an opportunity to play in any official first team match during 2010–11 season. His contract at Ajax was therefore not renewed. He was thankful, however, for the years at Ajax, and his gratitude resulted in a tattoo of the club logo and the coat of arms of Amsterdam on his right arm.
On 27 June 2011, Suk signed a two-year contract with FC Groningen, Groningen also has an option for another two years.[3]
On January 2013, Suk signed with C.S. Marítimo, and netted his first goal in his third match, in a 1–0 win against Sporting, which became the winning goal.[4]
On 11 July 2013, Suk signed with Al-Ahli.
On 30 June 2014, Suk signed a four-year contract with C.D. Nacional.
On 12 January 2015, Hyun-Jun was signed by another Portuguese side Vitória de Setúbal. On 2 January 2016 Hyun-Jun scored an unstoppable free-kick only four minutes into a match against Braga.[5][6]
On 15 January 2016, Suk moved to FC Porto.
International career
His international career took off when he called up for the Korean Republic U-17 team in 2006. He also took part in the 2010 AFC U-19 Championship qualification.[7] Suk made his senior national team debut on 7 September 2010 against Iran.
