Yusuke Unoki (宇野木 悠佑, Unoki Yūsuke, born 30 April 1996) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Philippines Football League club Davao Aguilas.[1][2]
Youth career[edit]
Unoki was born in the Tokyo area, and played for the youth team of J-League Kashiwa Reysol all the way until the Under 18 Level.[3][4][5] In college, he played for the football team of Kanto Gakuin University.[6]
Club career[edit]
Germany[edit]
After graduating, he travelled to Germany to play football for lower league side VfB Homberg.[5][7] He was moderately successful and stayed there for one season, before moving to another German side, 1. FC Kleve.[8] He had his most successful stint yet, scoring 8 goals across 27 appearances in his only season at the club.[9][10]
Finland[edit]
In mid-2020, Unoki moved to Finnish side AC Kajaani. However, his time at the club was less productive, marred by the COVID-19 Pandemic and various injuries.[8] In the latter half of the year he transferred to another Finnish side, Kultsu FC,[11][12][13] but likewise struggled for goals, being played on the wing rather than up front.[14]
Shinagawa CC[edit]
Unoki returned to his home country of Japan a year after having another brief stint abroad with Croatian side NK Krk.[9] He signed for Shinagawa CC Yokohama, playing with them for a full season before departing in early 2024.[15][16]
Davao Aguilas[edit]
In early 2024, it was reported that Unoki had signed a contract with Davao Aguilas of the Philippines Football League,[2] who were returning to the league after 6 years away. Unoki made his debut in the opening matchday, a 1–0 win over Mendiola,[17] scoring his first two goals in a 6–0 win over Manila Montet.[18] He had a successful season scoring over 10 goals for the club,[19][20] including a hat-trick against Maharlika Taguig.[21]
